Kenneth or Awaziem are very good replacement.
For the LB Bassey or Ola Aina will be great and Osayi taking RB in this case of Ola swap. I believe these 2 absentees should not be a problem at all.
You’re correct Chima
We just need to win the match irrespective who’s fielded. Omeruo is good. But then, who is replacing Yusuf? Aribo, abi?
God bless you, what will happen if God forbid ola sustain injury today? I want to beg, Awaziem should not be part of defense ooo, Paul should not also be part of the squad ooo. The heart attack way this current government Dey give us is enough oooo
Why are people running away from Bruno, this is we’re ebuchi would have come in, but know we all prefer mediocrity. Many praised the coach for over looking ebuchi, now see it. Ola suppose to rest, along with Ajayi. I hear someone calling Awaziem, ok
Why are our players soft?They’re insanely prone to injuries!
I wonder o Greenturf
When you have aje butter for team. See what this clueless coach is doing to our midfield. Confidence really lacking in this team. Still not convince about the win against Ivory coast. Want to see them play a more formidable team
Hello complete football, I am Edwin Omoh Aliemeh. I will like to contribute my opinion here. Thanks
CSN, we’re almost 4hrs to the all important match. Important because we need to top the group. pls, send pictures from Yamoussoukro and Abidjan asap. Tnx.
A team is prone to injuries especially muscle injuries when the physical training is very intense and rigorous……it’s mostly common in black players because of the volume of muscles they possess…..The physicality of this super eagle’s team is somehow on a high side as compared to others I have seen of recent…. Knowing this then the coach should have taken his complete 27 man players to the tournament because as it stands we might run out of players if we go far in the tournament
