Algeria have landed in Uyo ahead of tomorrow’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Nigeria.
Their chartered flight landed at the Uyo airport on Thursday evening and were received by top officials of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF).
The Desert Foxes were led by long-serving FAF president, Mohamed Raouraoua.
They are also booked into the Le Meridian like Nigeria and are expected to have a first feel of the pitch at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium by 5pm today.
New coach Georges Leekens has had to make do with a team hit by a spate of injuries with three key players, including Ryad Boudebouz ruled out, while Napoli defender, Faouzi Ghoulam remains a huge doubt as he has been battling with a groin problem, but he is now in Uyo with the rest of the party.
Tomorrow’s match will also kick off at 5pm local time.
