Former Super Eagles assistant coach Sylvanus Okpala has backed interim National team coach Austin Cerezo Eguavoen to solve the national team’s growing injury concern after Paul Onuachu picked up an injury to add to the already worrisome injury crisis in the team with less than twenty days to the Africa cup of nations in Cameroon.

Okpala speaking in a chat with brila.net stressed that he believes the national team handler’s knowledge of the team will come in handy in his selection process for the players that will be good enough to execute Nigeria’s quest for glory at the Africa cup of nations next year.
