Nigeria’s senior national team players are in “good shape” ahead of Saturday’s 2022 Fifa World Cup qualifier against Liberia, says coach Gernot Rohr.
Ahead of the crunch fixture against the Lone Stars, billed for Stade Ibn Batouta in Tangiers, the Super Eagles trained for the first time on Tuesday evening.
As of the time of filing this report, the trio of Odion Ighalo, Victor Osimhen and John Noble are still being expected.
Speaking with the NFF media, the German tactician stated that all his players are very fit and hope it remains that way until they lock horns with Peter Butler’s side.
“We had 21 players, two goalkeepers and we are still missing three players who will come tomorrow, but it was a good training session,” Rohr said.
“We already started in the hotel this morning to recover and this afternoon, we trained at 5 pm – which is the time of the match on Saturday.
“We had a good [training] with the players, some of them played two days ago before travelling, so we have to be careful because of injuries, but everything went well.
“My players are in good shape and there were some good goals [during training].
“The week is starting well which is good and we have a wonderful condition here in Morocco to train.
“I hope that by tomorrow [Wednesday] everyone will be here.”
