The Nigerian national team will play the eagles of Mali later tonight in Marrakech. The team is now without the London duo of Calvin Bassey and Frank Onyeka due to injury.
Calvin Bassey did not feature in the team’s first friendly against Ghana, while Onyeka played 90 minutes in that encounter. The nature of their injuries are undisclosed, but both players have returned to their respective clubs for further assessment.
The super eagles, under the tutelage of interim coach, Finidi George won their first game against Ghana on friday 2-1. The team are set to take on Mali to complete their international duties as they prepare for the upcoming world cup qualifiers.
