Friendly: Pinnick backs Eagles ahead of Tunisia game

President, Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Amaju Pinnick said the Super Eagles missed the trio of Joe Aribo, Wilfred Ndidi, and Oghenekaro Etebo against Algeria.

The midfielders pulled out of the game through injuries and they remain doubtful for the African cup of Nations qualifiers against Sierra Leone and the Benin Republic.

The Super Eagles suffered a 1 – 0 defeat against the African champions on Friday, with Gernot Rohr feeding Semi Ajayi and debutant Frank Onyeka in the midfield.
