The Super Eagles of Nigeria take on Algeria on Saturday, November 12 in Uyo.
“The preparation has been to look at our players in their clubs because we cannot play any friendly match,” Rohr told CAF’s official website.
“We have to analyse the matches and we also have to keep eyes on our players because we have started building a new team with many young players. It was good we have two wins after two matches (Tanzania and Zambia) which are good for our confidence but there is still a lot of work to do.”

“Algeria which is the number one team in Africa must be disappointed for dropping points at home against Cameroon.
“They will come to Uyo very well prepared against us. So mathematically, it was a good operation for us that we won in Ndola; and we are the only teams that have three points after the first round of matches.”
