Head coach of the Super
Eagles, Gernot Rohr, has warned his players to brace up for a difficult
encounter against Seychelles, in their must-win Africa Cup of Nations qualifier
on September 8.
Rohr has named a strong
squad for the clash, but is still wary of the small island nation, as the
Eagles seek to get back on track in Group E.
Nigeria failed to qualify
for the 2015 and 2017 editions of the tournament.
“The match against
Seychelles is very important and it’s a must win for us.
“We cannot underrate the
team; they are a team from a little island but they are a team that works
together as far as I know and it not going to be easy to play against them.
“It’s going to be difficult
in Seychelles because the temperature and everything else is a little bit
difficult. We have to approach this game very seriously – and we have to be on
our form,” Rohr told Vanguard.
Libya tops the group having
beaten Sechelles 5-1, while South Africa beat Nigeria 2-0 in Uyo.
