The Libyan National Team players and officials are preparing to travel to Uyo for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier with the Super Eagles which will hold at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium on Saturday, October 13.

Libyan newspaper Al Wasat has reported that the Libyan players were injected with vaccines in Tunisia ahead of their trip to Nigeria.

National team manager Adil Al-Khamisi supervised the vaccination at the health center and the star player Ahmad Benali of Crotone in Italy was amongst the first four players to be vaccinated.

Meanwhile, Libya's interim manager, Omar Al-Miryami is sweating on the fitness of his right back, Ali Maatoug Omran (Ahly Tripoli) ahead of Saturday's game after he picked up an injury in Wednesday's workout in Tunis.

The defender could not complete the training session and needs to get the green light from the medical team before he's permitted to face the Super Eagles.

The Mediterranean Knights have four points from their first two games in Group E of the AFCON qualifiers ahead of their double-header with Nigeria.
