Chelsea star, Moses, Balogun, other Eagles arrive for Cameroon

Chelsea of England star, Victor Moses and other Super Eagles players Moses Simon, Uche Agbo, Leon Balogun, John Ogu, and Anthony Nwakaeme yesterday joined up with the rest members of the squad who had arrived Uyo on Monday.

Captain John Mikel Obi, Ogenyi Onazi, Oghenekaro Etebo, Kelechi Iheanacho, William Ekong, Ahmed Musa, Chidozie Awaziem, Ola Aina, Daniel Akpeyi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Mikel Agu, Odion Ighalo, Wilfred Ndidi, Dele Alampasu, Elderson Echiejile and Tyronne Ebuehi were on ground to welcome their team mates.

Table -toppers Nigeria are confident of overhauling Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions when both teams clash in perhaps the biggest match of Africa’s Group B of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying race on Friday.

Cameroon come to town at a time the Eagles are fully committed to establishing an unassailable lead in the pool, and on the back of Nigeria having won the last three encounters between both nations at senior level.

The Lions will derive little comfort from glancing at the Group B table, on which they lag behind Nigeria with as many as four points, and also realize they have never beaten Nigeria in a World Cup qualifying match played in Nigeria.

Eagles’ Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, told thenff.com yesterday that his wards are fully focused on what pundits have referred to as Nigeria’s biggest match of the year.
