“It’s true that some of the Nigerian players are injured, but the players who have come in are also good,” Owono said during his interaction with the media on Saturday.

“We also have our own injury problems too, so it’s not just Nigeria.

“Nigeria have good players in their team and playing against them is going to be a tough task for us.”
