Sierra Leone coach John Keister has admitted that he will be facing a tough side in the Super Eagles but expressed confidence and determination to secure maximum points against the Super Eagles.
“I want the nation to be positive about the outcome from the first leg,” he remarked during a press conference.
“The team’s rebuilding process starts now, and I’ve put together some of the best players to upset the Nigerians,” he added.
The major highlight of the squad was including USL Championship joint top scorer Augustus Williams who will be eyeing his international debut, besides Anderlecht striker Mustapha Bundu.
Former AC Milan midfielder Rodney Strasser who now plays for Turun Palloseura, Randers forward Alhaji Kamara, and 32-year-old Mohamed “Medo” Kamara return to the squad. Forward Kei Kamara (36) made a U-turn on his retirement from international football.
