Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has said that his team were going to face a very tough Peruvian side in tomorrow’s international friendly at the Lima National Stadium.

Keshi, who led his team out of Nigeria weekend for the trip to the South American country, said the weather in Lima coupled with the passion of the Peruvians were enough to make the game a very tricky and complex encounter.

While ruing the absence of captain, Joseph Yobo, who is out of the game because of injury, Keshi said that he was confident that his players can cope with the pressure that comes with playing away from home.

“We are going to face a very tough opposition. It is not easy when you play against teams from south America. Peru are a good team with talented players and I expect a very difficult match. The aim is to play well and get in the best shape for the matches coming up in June.

“I feel sad that my captain (Yobo) is injured. It pains me so much but what can I do but to make use of the ones which we have. Nigeria is supposed to have at least four players who can fill a particular position in the national team at any given time but we are not yet there. We would try to make use of the ones available”, added Keshi.

The Nigerian squad is made up of Home-based players - Chigozie Agbim, Dan Akpeyi, Okemute Odah, Azubuike Egwueke, Papa Idris, Juwon Oshaniwa, Godfrey Oboabona, Sunday Mba, Uche Ossai, Izu Azuka, Gbolahan Salami, Ejike Uzoenyi, Ogonna Izuchukwu, Gabriel Reuben, Henry Uche, Obinna Nwachukwu, Kalu Uche and Overseas-based players - Ekigho Ehiosun, Raheem Lawal, Gege Soriola, Obiorah Nwankwo and Nnamdi Oduamadi.

Meanwhile, 22 Peruvians have been in training to face Nigeria and they are Goalkeepers - Raúl Fernández, Diego Penny, Leao Butrón, ; Defenders - Giancarlo Carmona, Renzo Revoredo, Luis Advíncula, Christian Ramos, John Galliquio, Jesús álvarez, Santiago Acasiete, Alberto Rodríguez, Carlos Zambrano, Yoshimar Yotún, Alvaro Ampuero ; Midfielders - Carlos Zegarra, Antonio Gonzales, Rinaldo Cruzado, Luis Ramírez, Ronald Quinteros, Carlos Lobatón, Christian Cueva, Juan Manuel Vargas, Michael Guevara, André Carrillo, William Chiroque, Renzo Sheput and Strikers - José Carlos Fernández, Claudio Pizarro, Jefferson Farfán, Paolo Guerrero and Raúl Ruidiaz.

The international friendly game between Nigeria and Peru will kick off by 8:00pm Peruvian time, Wednesday and 2:00am Nigerian time, Thursday.
