No NPFL stars for Algeria game, says Yusuf

By Daily Sports on October 24, 2016

Super Eagles Chief coach, Salisu Yusuf has asserted that it would be difficult for any Nigeria Professional Football League players to make the 23-man list for the 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier against Algeria.

Yusuf revealed that with the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) season on break,  the senior national team coaches cannot guarantee the fitness level of the local league players and so would all the excused from the November 12 cracker against the Desert Foxes at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo.

“I don’t think any home based players will make the list for the Algeria game,” Yusuf told Goal.

“It is a crucial game for us and we do not want to toy with it. The league season is on break and the players have gone on break to their respective families.

“Their slots would be used to add more new players who have been scouted but are yet to be invited to be watched at close range.

“We want to assure Nigerians that the players that will be invited for the tie with Algeria will be players who will do the nation proud. (goal.com)
