On the eve of their highly anticipated semifinal clash against Algeria, Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has confirmed that key players Ahmed Musa, Odion Ighalo, and Chidozie Awaziem are fit to play.

According to Rohr, Ighalo has a calf injury, Musa has an adductor issue, and Awaziem has an ankle problem, but the team doctor has assured him that the trio will be ready for the match.

Despite initial concerns that the trio might not be fit for the game, Rohr expressed confidence in his team's ability to overcome any challenges and take on Algeria on Sunday, July 14.

With Ighalo remaining joint top scorer in the tournament with three goals, Nigeria will be looking to capitalize on his form and secure a spot in the final.
