He made the decision following consultations with his medical team, Media Officer Ben Alaiya said.
Alaiya quoted the coach, who was speaking before the team’s final training session at Soccer City in Soweto, as saying he will wait till the last minute before deciding whether the boys will play or not, and that no other opinion is acceptable.
He however assured Nigerians not to panic over the two players, pointing out that in the case of their not being ready, he has capable replacements to fit into the shoes of both players.
