Speaking on the exclusion of the EPL players from the match against Cape verde, Consultant with UK Sportlight also said,” The absent of EPL players is definitely a minus but I think we have enough players who can step and be counted.
“Iheanacho is a great player but he is not indispensable. We have players like Victor who can equally do a great job. Nigeria has always been blessed with quality strikers and we as a nation has never depended on a single player. So I believe we can cope on his absence
