Speaking to reporters in Abidjan, Onyeka said ahead of the game, “Most of [us] play against those guys in Europe. Ibrahim Sangaré plays for Nottingham Forest. I watched him, played against him. Franck Kessié played for AC Milan before he went to Saudi Arabia.
“The only person I really do not know is Seko Fofana. These are players that play in Europe, big leagues, so most of us know them really well.
“I know it is not going to be an easy game but it is going to be an interesting game.”
