AFCON qualifiers: Eric Chelle opens on major setback ahead of Guinea-Bissau

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has expressed concern over the limited preparation time ahead of their 2027 AFCON qualifier against Guinea-Bissau. He noted that the tight FIFA window allows only one or two training sessions before the match, affecting tactical preparations. Chelle also raised concerns about the fitness of George Ilenikhena and other players needing fitness tests. The match will be held at Estádio Nacional 24 de Setembro in Bissau, with both teams aiming to build on their previous victories.
