There has been concerns on whether Super Eagles AFCON first choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali will be fit for the game.

According to the Portuguese tactician, "We have to wait for a late fitness test today, if he is not ready, I have other goalkeepers (Uzoho and Ojo). I believe and trust all my goalkeepers, if Nwabali is not fit, I trust Uzoho," Jose Peseiro said.

The game will hold tomorrow Friday at the Stade Félix Houphouet-Boigny in Abijan, 6:00pm Nigeria Time. A win for the Super Eagles of Nigeria will send them into the semi-final of the competition.
