Former Nigeria forward Finidi George will be in charge of the Super Eagles when they confront West African arch-rivals Ghana in an international friendly in Marrakech on Friday.

The 52-year-old has been appointed by the NFF to hold the reins in the meantime as a group of 22 players take on Ghana and Mali in this month’s international window.

As of Tuesday lunchtime, 12 of the 22 players expected had arrived in Morocco’s fourth-largest city, with defenders Gabriel Osho and Tyronne Ebuehi, and forwards Victor Osimhen and Taiwo Awoniyi having been knocked out by injury.

The African vice champions will also take on Mali at the same Grand Stade de Marrakech on Tuesday, 26th March 2024.
