Siasia Unveils Team For Ethiopia, Tomorrow

Super Eagles Coach, Samson Siasia will unveil his Super Eagles squad for the crucial 2012 African Nations Cup qualifier against Ethiopia at a press conference at the  Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Secretariat, Abuja tomorrow.

“This is what we want to be doing now, announcing the list of players for matches and competitions at official press conferences. We will start tomorrow with the list of players for the Ethiopia game,” Siasia said on Monday.

Nigerians eagerly await the list of Siasia with many hoping he will hand call ups to Obafemi Martins who scored the League Cup winner for Birmingham against Arsenal two weeks ago as well as just returned from injury striker Ike Uche of Zaragoza.

The domestic League players, who had been in residential training for more than one month now, will be first to turn up at the team’s Bolton White Hotel, Abuja camp on Monday, March 14. Team officials including Siasia will be there a day earlier, while the foreign based players are expected from Sunday, March 20.

Nigeria will play Ethiopia at the National Stadium, Abuja in a must-win qualifier on Sunday, March 27, starting from 7pm.

The Super Eagles are in second place behind Guinea in Group Four, with three points, as against the Guineans’ maximum of six. While the Eagles host Ethiopia, the Guineans are away to Madagascar in Antananarivo.
