Meanwhile, Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh has revealed that he isn’t “100% fit” yet but had to make himself available due to the “crucial” nature of the game.
Oliseh was flown to Belgium last month due to ill health, a development that made him miss Nigeria’s 2016 Championship for African Nations (CHAN) second qualifier away to Burkina Faso.
While briefing the media after the team’s Tuesday evening training session, the former Super Eagles skipper confirmed he still has health issues while praising the spirit in camp.
“I am not 100% fit but this is a crucial match and we have to give it our all. That is why I managed to be here,” he revealed.
“The boys are in high spirit and we have devised plans to get it right. We want to win all our matches so as to qualify for the World Cup. That is our target,” Oliseh added.
Nigeria face Swaziland on Friday at the Somhlolo Stadium, Lobamba before squaring-off in a return leg in Port Harcourt on Tuesday.
