Super Eagles head coach Eric Chelle has said that some players who have not been used at the ongoing tournament might get a chance to play in Nigeria’s last Group C game against Uganda at the Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.
Raphael Onyedika, a key player for Belgian team Club Brugge, has not played in the tournament yet.
He played for Nigeria in a friendly game against Egypt in Cairo before the AFCON tournament.
His limited playing time has made fans worried, especially since Nigeria is already in the knockout stage.
On Monday, during a press conference, Chelle said that Onyedika and the other team members will get a chance to play.
“For the rotation, once again I keep it for myself. Many players, like Raphael Onyedika, are really good and deserve to be on this team,” he said.
“But every time I have to make a decision, I can honestly say they deserve a chance to play.”
Nigeria advanced to the knockout stage after winning 3-2 against Tunisia in a tough match on Saturday night. With the result many people think that Chelle might change his team for the last group game against Uganda’s Cranes.
“We’ll have one more training session, and after that, I’ll decide what to do next,” he added.
