Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo has spoken of the need to strengthen the squad, if there was to be an improvement on their outing against Madagascar.

Yobo, who is recovering from an injury he picked up on his first day at work at Fenerbahce, said that there was a need to bring in more quality players into the team.

“We have to make some improvements from our last game. The team would be a lot stronger, if we have quality players.

“This will create more competition for places in the team. The young players who joined us from the Nigerian Premier League have also proved that they can succeed with this team, but they only need to be with this team for some time to gather enough experience.

“The defence and attack held their own against Madagascar. But we need to bring in players like Etuhu and Ayila, to join Kalu Uche, to do the marking for Mikel in the midfield, so that Mikel would be free to play his free role in the team.

“And with Obinna Nsofor also rejoining the team would further strengthen our attack and we will be unstoppable in Conakry.”     Eagles caretaker coach, Austin Eguaveon is expected to unfold his team list for the Guinea game on Wednesday.

Nigeria and Guinea won their opening qualifying matches, but the Syli Stars lead the standings after they beat Ethiopia 4-1 in Addis Ababa.
