Head coach of Super Eagles Samson Siasia has decided to include English born players

Victor Moses and Shorla Ameobi in his squad ahead of internatioanl friendly with


Blackstars comes August 9th at Watford,England.





SUPER Eagles coach Samson Siasia is not ready to handle the


international friendly tie against Black Stars of Ghana with kid gloves


as he has promised to role out a strong squad for the August 9

encounter.


The coach however revealed that he would give consideration to a couple of new


players for the match billed for London.


The friendly match is expected to be a tune-up for the all-


important 2011 Nations Cup qualifier against Madagascar in Antananarivo


on September 3.

Siasia, speaking ahead of the match explained that while he was


planning to give few fresh legs a chance to prove their mettle in the


new Eagles, the Ghanaians would be meeting a solid opposition in his


team.


"I might bring in two or three new players, but my team is still the


same you have watched over the last six matches. Whatever be the case,

I would present a team that will handle Ghana very well at the Vicarage


Ground," Siasia told arksports on arrival from his holidays in


the United States of America.


The former Super Eagles striker hinted that the list of players to


do battle against the Black Stars would be submitted to the Nigeria


Football Federation(NFF) in a couple of days just as he confirmed the

return of Osaze Odemwingie into the team.


"I hope to submit the list of players for the match against Ghana to


the NFF in the next couple of days and it is going to comprise the same


set of players that I have been using since I came on board as the


coach,'' said Siasia who added that "Osaze would be invited from the


friendly against Ghana."
