Sunday Oliseh Expected To Be In The Dugout Against Niger

NFF supremo Amaju Pinnick expects Sunday Oliseh to be in the dugout when the Super Eagles face off against Niger at the 2016 African Nations Championship on January 18.

The Super Eagles have started preparations for the tournament in Rwanda, with the team expected to jet out to South Africa for a training camp in the coming days without Oliseh, who is in Belgium recovering from an undisclosed ailment.

“He is getting better. Any human being can break down. I speak to the doctors and we are confident he will back on his feet soon,” Pinnick said in a statement.

Sunday Oliseh managed the home - based team that beat Burkina Faso 2 - 0 in Port Harcourt two months back but did not travel with the squad for the return leg.
