Finidi George, the Super Eagles’ interim head coach, is keen for the club to win two games in a row.
The Super Eagles narrowly defeated Ghana 2-1 last weekend, kicking off Finidi’s rule on a positive note.
The Eagles of Mali will play the three-time African champions in their second friendly on Tuesday at the Grand Stade de Marrakech.
Frank Onyeka and Calvin Bassey will miss the Super Eagles’ game. The likes of Victor Osimhen, Taiwo Awoniyi, Tyrone Ebuehi and Gabriel Osho couldn’t honour the invitation for the two friendlies due to fitness concern.
Finidi however said they can’t afford to dwell too much on the absence of the players.
“We cannot at this time be dwelling on the injuries and absences that we have to cope with. Our intention has always been to win these
two matches and then look forward to the World Cup qualifiers in June,” Finidi told thenff.com.
” We are determined to keep up the momentum and sustain the winning mentality derived from beating the Black Stars.”
