Super Eagles will be facing Sierra Leone on Tuesday evening, November 17, in the return leg of their 2022 African Cup of Nations qualifier which will be played in Freetown.
Sierra Leone were superb in the first leg against the Super Eagles of Nigeria as they came back from 4-1 down and draw the tie at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin.
Napoli striker Victor Osimhen sustained an injury in the encounter and the Super Eagles chiefs have excused him to return to his club in Italy.
Also, there have been news going round that Emmanuel Dennis and Samuel Chukwueze are facing difficulties to be fit for the much anticipated encounter.
But according to the report on Brila, Gernot Rohr has cleared the air on the reports claiming that only Victor Osimhen will be out of the game.
The German football tactician also urged Nigerians to put the poor show of his boys against Sierra Leone in the first leg behind them.
“We are confident and fans should believe that the players will fight. The players understand the honour to play for Nigeria and they will fight. No injury worries apart of Osimhen.''
Meanwhile, the Super Eagles are still topping their group with seven points after three games played so far.
