Super Eagles interim head coach, Finidi George says his main target is record another win against the Eagles of Mali.
Finidi masterminded the Super Eagles 2-1 victory over the Black Stars of Ghana last week Friday.
The 52-year-old will take charge of the Super Eagles for the second consecutive game against Mali on Tuesday.
The Super Eagles will be without Frank Onyeka and Calvin Bassey for the game.
Onyeka and Bassey returned to England on Sunday to get further treatment on their injuries.
The likes of Victor Osimhen, Taiwo Awoniyi, Tyrone Ebuehi and Gabriel Osho couldn’t honour the invitation for the two friendlies due to fitness concern.
Finidi however said they can’t afford to dwell too much on the absence of the players.
“We cannot at this time be dwelling on the injuries and absences that we have to cope with. Our intention has always been to win these two matches and then look forward to the World Cup qualifiers in June,” Finidi told thenff.com.
” We are determined to keep up the momentum and sustain the winning mentality derived from beating the Black Stars.”
