The Super Eagles coaching crew will field several players yet to taste action in the FIFA 2018 World Cup qualifiers for the upcoming game against Algeria.

Salihu Yusuf, coach of the Super Eagles, made this known on Monday.

Yusuf said the aim of including other players in the last game of the qualifiers is to create an increased pool of players ahead of the global football mundial.

“Some of the players have not been opportune to play, so this match will offer them such opportunity,” Yusuf said.

“We know there is nothing to be scared of because we already have the World Cup ticket but our interest now is to have a blended team.

The coach assured that the Super Eagles would win the game against Algeria.

The Eagles currently top Group B with 13 points and will slug it out with the Algerian side on November 10.

Gabonese, Eric Arnaud Otogo Castane, has been appointed as the center referee for the match.

According to the Algerian football federation, Castane will be assisted by Guinean Aboubacar Doumbouya and Seydou Tiama of Burkina Faso while Juste Ephrem Zio, also of Burkina Faso, will be the fourth official.

Omer Kouame Dehoule of Ivory Coast and Aden Robleh Rayaleh of Djibouti were appointed as the match commissioner and referee assessor respectively.

The dead rubber game will be played at the Mohamed-Hamlaoui Stadium in Constantine.
