Babafemi Raji, the Media Officer for the Super Eagles, assured on Friday in Abidjan that all players are fit and prepared for their Round of 16 encounter against Cameroon.

The Super Eagles are set to face the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in a pivotal match at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny in Abidjan on Saturday.

All 25 players participated in a light training session at the Police Nationale Ecole de Police D’ Abidjan on Friday. The training, open to journalists and the public for the first 30 minutes, showcased the team’s readiness.

Raji, speaking to News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) during the training, confirmed that there were no injury concerns, and the entire squad was available for selection.

“No injury concerns, the players are pumped up, and all members of the squad are available for selection and in good spirit,” he said.

Tactically, the coaching staff has been working tirelessly to develop the right strategy for the match, aiming for an outright win within 90 minutes. Raji urged Nigerians to support and pray for the team.

On the topic of forwards Victor Osimhen, Moses Simon, and Samuel Chukwueze being more clinical in front of goal, Raji emphasized that football is a team sport, and success or challenges are shared collectively.

“We win, lose, or draw together. This time tomorrow, we will win together,” he stated.

Regarding the potential inclusion of Kelechi Iheanacho in the matchday squad against Cameroon, Raji clarified that the decision lies with Coach Jose Peseiro and is based on Iheanacho’s readiness.

Speaking on the performance of the current number one goalkeeper, Stanley Nwabali, Raji noted that Nwabali is in the form of his life, drawing strength from the competition and support within the team.

“Nwabili is having a good time, same with the other goalkeepers in the squad. In every department, there is competition, which is very great. Football is a team sport; it is a team event. We don’t look at individuals. The moral support he gets also comes from his teammates; the likes of Uzoho and Ojo,” he concluded.

The training session, starting at 4:30 p.m., concluded at 6:30 p.m. (NAN).
