“For now one of our greatest challenge is from players whose clubs are involved in continental engagements, we have barely 18 days to our first game, and our clubs in the continent also have crucial first round games almost the same time, so it will cause distractions for us, but we have to balance things, for just as we need these players, so also their clubs need their services.”
Obiozor and Sokari were part and parcel of the Super Eagles squad that traveled to the United Arab Emirates last month for friendlies against Ivory Coast and Yemen.
