2022 World Cup playoff: Nigeria coach Austin Eguavoen admits to selection headache ahead of Ghana clash

Nigeria head coach Austin Eguavoen is confident his team will emerge victorious ahead of the World Cup playoff against Ghana next month.

Eguavoen is happy about the abundance of players available for selection ahead of the two legged-encounter against the Black Stars.

“We have two tough games against Ghana next month, but I’m not too worried because we have a squad that knows it’s a mountain that we have to climb,” Eguavoen stated in an interview with Nigeria’s Sports Minister Sunday Dare and officials of Nigeria Football Federation.

“We have a good headache to deal with – which is a surplus of good players. I want to thank the government and the NFF for all the support during the AFCON; we will need even greater support for the World Cup play-off.

Ghana host Nigeria in the first leg at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Thursday March 24, 2022.

The Black Stars have made three appearances at the World Cup with their last appearance at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
