Nigeria head coach Stephen Keshi has released a list of 30 players that will train together ahead of the team’s international friendly match against the Lone Stars of Liberia in Monrovia on February 15.
The rescheduled international is meant to prepare the Nigerians for their 2013 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game against Rwanda in Kigali on February 29.
Both countries were supposed to play the match on January 14, but the Nigerians were held back from travelling following a nationwide strike that caused a shutting down of the country’s airports.
Keshi is presently in South Africa as a television analyst for the ongoing 2012 Afcon. He is expected to return to take charge of the team early next week. Players are to begin camp on Sunday, February 5.
There are three goalkeepers, eight defenders, 11 midfielders and eight strikers chosen to join this training camp. Most of the players were in the squad that held Angola to a goalless draw in an international friendly in Abuja on January 11.
The Super Eagles are expected to leave for Monrovia on February 13.
