Rohr: To defeat Libya, Eagles must be very fit

Gernot Rohr, Super Eagles technical adviser, says his team must be “very fit” to beat Libya in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier.

Rohr said the Super Eagles will prepare for Saturday’s match as they did before playing Cameroon in the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier in 2017.

“We have to prepare for the two matches as we did against Cameroon last year…two games in four days means we have to be very fit,” Rohr was quoted as saying via a tweet on the Super Eagles Twitter handle.
