Super Eagles manager, Eric Chelle, has issued three warnings to his home-based players ahead of their CAF African Nations Championship, CHAN, group stage clash against Senegal.
Nigeria and Senegal will face each other in their CHAN opener on Tuesday evening.
Speaking at his pre-match press conference on Monday, Chelle warned his players that Senegal has a rich history in football, a strong generation, and a good team.
“I don’t think it is a derby, but this is a game between two big countries in Africa,” Chelle said.
“They have a history in football. Senegal has a good generation and a good team.
“So our preparation for this game has been good and we’ll look to implement everything we have prepared into this match.”
The Kick-off time for the match is 6 pm, Nigerian time.
