Francis and Uzochukwu, participated fully in training with the rest of the squad and now look good for today’s showdown against South Africa.
According to the Media officer of the Super Eagles, Ben Alaiya, Francis and Uzochukwu are good to go against South Africa, even as Francis noted, “I thank God that I am feeling better.
I believe I should be fit for South Africa game today, but if not, I am looking forward to the next round game because I believe we will qualify.”
Alaiya further expressed optimism that: “Both players trained fully with the team on Friday and look good to play against South Africa. Only Ikenna Paul didn’t train.
The medics will still have to give clean bill of health on them. We are not under pressure, but the South Africa being the hosts. They are expected to win as the hosts, but we are going into the game to maintain our dominance over them.”
