Eagles in Make or Mar Clash with CAR’s Wild Beasts

As Super Eagles file out against the Wild Beasts of Central African Republic in Douala, Cameroon this afternoon, nothing short of an outright victory will return Nigeria’s hope of qualifying for the knockout phase of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar on course.

However, Eagles gaffer, Gernot Rohr, who escaped the wrath of Lagos fans at the Teslim Balogun Stadium on Thursday knows another tepid performance from his wards may spell doom for the rest of his two-year deal with Nigeria. “The team will not change so much, except with bringing in two or three fresh players ,” Rohr disclosed after the Eagles trained in Douala, Cameroon, for the first time yesterday.“We’re very confident Sunday will be a good day,” observed the Franco-German coach.

Union Berlin striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, could also get his first start after he came in for injured Kelechi Iheanacho Thursday for his Super Eagles debut.Skipper Ahmed Musa, who is looking forward to earning his milestone 100th cap for Nigeria at senior level, is however more concerned with the Super Eagles taking all three points in the Day 4 encounter.
