In the following week, Nigeria will play Algeria in an international friendly. The manager of the Super Eagles has already chosen the 25-man team he would use in Oran.
Nigeria won’t be taking part in the 2018 FIFA world cup, but this game will help them get ready for future international action. The Nigerian manager, who is attempting to assemble a team capable of contending at the highest levels, will face a very challenging test against Algeria, who won the CAF a few years ago.
Many elite athletes will not be available for selection versus Algeria. This is due to the fact that they are either injured or not match-ready.
Maduka Okoye’s invitation has drawn criticism, though, since some feel that the bench warmer is not deserving of a spot on the team. Nigeria, though, is the favorite to win this international scrimmage because Algeria will also be without some of their best players. Nigeria needs to win because it would keep the team moving in the right direction.
