Former Super Eagles player Friday
Ekpo, has urged the Super Eagles
coach Sunday Oliseh to begin early
preparations for the African Cup of
Nations qualifier with Egypt next
month or risk missing out on the
competition as the Pharaoh's are
determined and prepared to qualify
from the qualifying group which
they are currently topping.
Nigeria missed out on the 2015
Afcon and are currently in second
place behind Egypt in Group G as
both teams are scheduled to face
off in March 26 according to the
recent dates released by the NFF as
confirmed by CAF.
Friday Ekpo said:
"We need early preparation
and how many players do we
have playing regularly abroad
now that’ll give us what we
need come March. He
(Sunday Oliseh) should start
early preparation and give
them soccer orientation the
way he wants to play his
game.
"The Egyptians are preparing
full well and when they come
here it is either they pull a
draw or win. It wouldn’t be
wise to wait until 2 or 3 days
before we invite the players.
Our players don’t have that
kind of strength.
