Libyan manager Nasser Al-Hadiri has his focus on getting at least a draw against the Super Eagles in the Match day 3 of the qualifier, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The newly appointed coach unveiled the list of invited players for the games but some key players are still missing due to injury. The coach further told Libya News 24, that they are not ready to face tough opponents like Nigeria. " The challenge is not only in facing Nigeria, which has world-class attacking names, such as Victor Boniface and Ademola Lookman, but also in facing influential absences among the ranks of the Libyan national team, which may hinder the team’s chances of achieving a positive result in this fateful confrontation. " We have not yet reached the required readiness to face a strong opponent the size of Nigeria". "The team suffers from the absence of a number of players in the first training sessions, which led to difficulty in imposing a comprehensive tactical vision for the match". "This lack of preparation represents an additional obstacle for the team that needs to exert double efforts to achieve a positive result away from home and return with at least a draw point to renew the hopes of qualification", he stated
