CHAN Eagles happy with injury-free Cameroon friendly

CHAN Eagles have rated Wednesday night’s friendly against Cameroon as a good test and will now depart to Tangier by road tomorrow.

The Eagles drew 0-0 with Cameroon ahead of their opening Group C clash against Rwanda in Tangier on Monday night.

“The good practice game, it was not about the result but how the players performed,” said team spokesman Toyin Ibitoye.

“It was a very physical game as both teams went for it, good for us, this was more than just a friendly. But so far, no injury to worry about.

“The game showed that this tournament won’t be a stroll in the park.

“The boys are hungry to do well; they are motivated to deliver with the World Cup on the horizon.”

The Eagles will train later this evening before they depart Rabat for Tangier today.

The trip to Tangier is two hours by road.
