As speculations over the future of Coach Stephen Keshi with the Super Eagles continue to make the rounds, the former Nigeria international has sworn to revive the team’s dream of qualifying for the Afcon 2015 tournament in Morocco.

Keshi has regretted the injuries that have hit the team, but he said they are still determined to revive their campaign for the AFCON 2015 in Sudan.

The African champions are third in Group A with a point. Congo top the standings on six points, while South Africa are second with four points. The Super Eagles are guests of pointless Sudan on Saturday, before they welcome the same team to Nigeria four days later.

Stoke City winger Victor Moses was ruled out at the weekend on account of injury, while a thigh injury could also keep out Babatunde Michael.

But Keshi is praying the Eagles do not suffer more injury problems, while assuring they have put behind them the disappointing results of last month to forge ahead.

“We pray that everybody would be in good health because that is very important. We have already lost two players now, I hope that would be the last,” he said

“We have put the past behind us. We are preparing ourselves against Sudan in Sudan. We are trying our best to prepare ourselves for success. Any team that is going out for a game prepare themselves to be victorious.

“Sometimes being third on the table doesn’t matter, it only challenges you more, makes you focus more  and more determined and that is what we going to do.”
