Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has said he plans an international friendly for his team of players from the Nigeria Premier League next month.
“I need to test their assimilation of what we have thought them and need to play at least a top friendly next month. I am not sure who or where the game would be decided but am shopping for one,” Keshi disclosed.
Keshi has admitted he has a lot of technical work to do with the home-based players currently training in Abuja under his supervision.
The former Eagles skipper also noted that there was need to motivate the players with regards to finances.
“I have a lot of technical work to do with the boys. But am encouraged by the courage shown so far by the players,” he said.
“They are no doubt talented but they need a lot of motivation and I will see what I can do to ensure they get the right motivation because this is very important, but I must say I am enjoying the moment and the challenge the boys are putting forward.”
The home-based Eagles began a training camp Monday in Abuja with 30 players invited by Keshi.
Players in Abuja training camp:
Chigozie Agbim, Azubuike Egwueke, Sunday Mba, Chibuzor Okonkwo, Julius Ubido, Bathlomew Ibenegbu, Okemute Odah, Fortune Chukwudi, Juwon Oshaniwa, Kola Anubi
