Super Eagles coach Gernot Rhor has hinted that his team will be out to ‘get a little revenge’ when they take on South Africa on Saturday in Johannesburg in the penultimate round of the AFCON Qualifiers.

Rhor who was speaking to DiegwuSports just before the team traveled to South Africa also pointed out that the players available will put in their best and will try to make up for the absence of the injured and suspended players.

‘It’s a difficult task for us without three injured players and one suspended one. We are missing our defender Shehu Abdulahi our right back, Francis Uzoho our goalkeeper and our goal scorer Odion Ighalo not forgetting our midfielder Wilfred Ndidi who is suspended. However we will try with some new players to go to South Africa and get a victory and a little revenge for the defeat we suffered at their hands two and a year and a half ago.’

The German tactician pointed out that the team was much better than it were when they took on South Africa.

‘We are more experienced now than we were when we lost to them, having played at the world and I also think that this young team will be able to put on a good performance even in the absence of key players.’

Rhor completed his interview by praising the new invitees who he is satisfied with their performance so far.

‘They have all impressed me so far, especially Samuel Chukwueze. Whether they will start on Saturday, I can’t tell for now but am impressed.’
