The Super Eagles will today return to full training ahead of the tie against the Blue Sharks of Cape Verde tomorrow in their bid to progress into the final knockout round of the African series for Qatar 2022.
The team returned from Tangier, Morocco yesterday after the 2-0 win over Liberia and they will commence a full training session at the match venue – Teslim Balogun Stadium.
Captain Ahmed Musa, who won a record 102nd senior cap for Nigeria after coming in as a substitute in Saturday’s triumph, said none of the players is thinking of a draw against the Sharks at the Teslim Balogun Stadium.
“No one is thinking of a draw. It is a must-win match, as far as we are concerned. The mindset is to win and reach the final round of the World Cup series without any story.”
Victory or draw against the Sharks will send 12-pointer Eagles into the knockout round, with the visitors, who are on 10, needing to win at the Teslim Balogun to make progress at Nigeria’s expense.
The final round of the African qualifying series will hold in March 2022.
