Stephen Keshi has stated that the departure of several high-profile players will not affect the performance of his team in the African Nations Championship (Chan).

With the departure of Sunday Mba, Godfrey Oboabona, Chibuzor Okonkwo and Izu Azuka amongst others. Keshi has inevitably had to find and groom capable replacements within very limited time.
In spite of the odds however, the Super Eagles coach, who recently named his final 23-man squad for the Chan tourney, is confident that the players selected will give a good account of themselves in the competition which kicks off in South Africa on January 11.

"We have talents all over the country but we don’t have time enough to groom them but I’m sure that the ones that we have chosen will give a good account of themselves in South Africa," Keshi said.
While insisting that the talent of the players is not in doubt, Keshi added that the players need more confidence in themselves when on the pitch, to enable them perform at their peak.
"That we have been trying to do,  so that when we come out fighting everything is possible and nothing will be impossible. The results we are getting are quite positive," he added.
