The Super Eagles are set to clash against their Malian counterparts in an international friendly match at the Stade Robert Diochon in Rouen, France, today.
The match is the first of a two game arrangement that will see the Super Eagles leave for Luxembourg City on Saturday, to play that country’s senior national team on Tuesday night.
The friendlies were aimed to prepare the Super Eagles ahead of the qualifying matches for 2018 World Cup.
The technical crew led by Salisu Yusuf, are confident the Eagles will triumph over their African opponents to set the tune for the game against Luxembourg.
Yusuf, who is assisted by Imama Amapakabo and Kennedy Boboye, have worked with a relatively young team in three training sessions but says there is belief in the squad going into the clash with the fellow West Africans.
“Yes, we have had only three training sessions. But they were very good sessions and the team has bonded very well. We expect to go all out even though it is a friendly match.
“We are working with players who have self –belief and there is excellent team spirit.”
In camp are Odion Ighalo, Ogenyi Onazi, Brown Ideye, Carl Ikeme, Alex Iwobi, Abdullahi Shehu, Umar Aminu, Kingsley Madu, Moses Simon, Elderson Echiejile, Leon Balogun, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Musa Muhammed, Etebo Oghenekaro, Babatunde Michael, Raheem Lawal, Gbenga Arokoyo, Kelechi Iheanacho, Daniel Akpeyi and William Troost Ekong.
