Super Eagles’ Coach, Sunday Oliseh, has admitted that his team is not yet ready for the 2016 CHAN after they were held to a 1-1 draw by Angola in a warm-up match in Pretoria on Wednesday, reports africanfootball.com.

The Super Eagles ‘B’ team took the lead from the penalty spot after 84 minutes through experienced Nigeria league campaigner, Bartholomew Ibenegbu, before CHAN-bound Angola drew level four minutes later.

“I am happy with the way they played, but we’re not yet ready for CHAN,” admitted Oliseh, who faces his first major test in charge of Nigeria at the tournament reserved for players who feature in their home leagues.

The coach said his team has had to cope with Injuries and high altitude.

“We played the game without strikers because our two top strikers (Tunde Adeneji and Chisom Chikatara) are injured and we also have to get used to the high altitude,” he explained.

Nigeria finished third on their CHAN debut two years ago in South Africa.

Officials said the Eagles would observe a rest day today before they resume training in Pretoria tomorrow.

Nigeria plays another warm-up match against Cote d’Ivoire on Monday.

Meanwhile, one of the players tipped to shine for Nigeria at the 2016 CHAN, Paul Onobi, has not suffered an injury, but was hauled off from a warm-up game against Angola because he is struggling to hit form, a team official has revealed.

Sunshine Stars midfielder, Onobi, who made the headlines when he not only benched Chelsea star, Mikel Obi, in a 2018 World Cup qualifier against Swaziland, but also posted a five-star display in the Eagles midfield, was replaced by Coach Sunday Oliseh after just 35 minutes against Angola.

The match report posted on the NFF official website said Onobi picked up a knock.

However, it has now been disclosed the all-action midfielder, who is likened to former Manchester United star, Paul Scholes, has not been at the top of his season in the Eagles training camp in Pretoria, South Africa, ahead of the CHAN in Rwanda.

“Onobi is not injured, he is struggling with his form and the coach is not happy with him. He risks losing his place in the first team,” disclosed a team official.
