Chelsea midfielder,John Mikel Obi has declared war on Egypt in Friday's African Cup of Nations qualifiers against Egypt in Kaduna.
The three-time Afcon Champions, who missed out of the 2015 edition of the championship are
currently two points behind Group G leaders, Egypt.
“Egypt are ahead of us in the qualifiers, we therefore have to win on Friday so as to go above them on the table,” said Mikel, who has been mobbed by eager fans at the team’s trainings in Abuja and Kaduna.
“So, Friday’s match is really the big one and we are playing at home.
“We are ready.”
“We must beat Egypt and go on to qualify for the Nations Cup,” added defender Chibuzor Okonkwo, who has staged a comeback to the team on the return of coach Samson Siasia at the helm.
Kick-off time on Friday has been moved to 5pm, when the weather would be a lot cooler and not affect the home team’s overseas-based pros. Africanfootball
