Eagles will take Ghana seriously - Samson Siasia

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."
