CHAN Eagles Preparing Hard For Benin Clash – Salisu

By Augustine Akhilomen

Chief Coach of the Super Eagles has lauded the high level of spirit of the invited players in camp ahead of the CHAN qualifier against Benin.

The home-based players included in the 30-man Super Eagles Team B squad for the qualifiers have resumed camp in Kano ahead of the qualifiers.

However, Salisu told Soccernet.com.ng that the team won’t take their West Africa counterpart likely for the encounter.

“We are really preparing seriously for the game against Benin in Kano. I can tell you that the spirit in camp is high and the players are roaring to the challenge,” Salisu told Soccernet.com.ng.

“I have no doubt that the Super Eagles will overcome Benin next month to make the second leg  formality.”

Nigeria have only qualified for two editions of CHAN, finishing third in South Africa 2014 and crashing out in the first round in Rwanda 2016.
