“It’s an opportunity for us to see other players who didn’t play because we had our players but now we have six injuries and at least I will make six changes for the game against Algeria and this is an opportunity to see these players who didn’t play so much and it will be interesting to play Algeria in this condition.

“They have a new coach (Raber Madjer) and they are playing at home so they will be very aggressive.

“They have good players. Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani, Yacine Brahimi. We had three days to prepare for Algeria.

“The second game against Argentina, is against one of the best team in the world, who have the best set of players.

“We will have one South American team in our group and also our trip to Russia will enable to us see where we will camp for the World Cup.”

The Super Eagles will play Argentina in an international friendly match on Tuesday, November 14.
