Speaking after the game between Algeria and DR Congo Leroy, who led Cameroon to the AFCON 1988 title, warned the North Africans about the threats posed by Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman.
“Algeria deserves their qualification, they were more enterprising than Congo,” Le Roy said in a video interview posted on Algeria Football Media X handle.
“It won’t be easy against Nigeria, they will have to manage Lookman and Osimhen.”
