“We’re still in the building process, we want a balanced team,” Zubairu disclosed after the game against Cote d’Ivoire.
“We want to know the level of the players from the WAFU B tournament last year and the new players, if they cannot meet up to the standard, they will be replaced.
“We expect a lot more players especially Nigerians who are abroad and eligible. We’re expecting a reasonable number of them.
“As soon as we go back to Nigeria, we will go on a week’s break and when we regroup we will have the foreign-based players.”
