“My work is to first explain to the players that this will not be an easy game. We cannot underrate this Sierra Leone team. “We have 16 players today, three goalkeepers and were expecting more. It’s not easy to travel across Europe because we have a lot of restrictions. Not many flights are coming to Nigeria at the moment. Some of the players have to travel through Ethiopia down to Lagos.”
