Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi says his focus at the moment
is his opening World Cup match against Iran.
Keshi's team also play Bosnia-Herzegovina and Argentina,
but most of the focus has been on the South American giants.
The Nigeria coach insists that the first game is the most
important one of all. "The Argentina game is not important right
now," Keshi said.
"The most important game is against Iran and when I
finish playing against Iran and Bosnia then I can have an answer to that."
Keshi also dismissed injury concerns to his players,
claiming he has spoken to them and received assurances.
"There are no injuries. I have called Austin Ejide
and he made it clear that he was never injured.
"Ahmed Musa had a minor injury and l spoke to the
club doctor who said in two or three weeks he would be fine.
"Musa played in the last minutes for his Russian
club in a league game. I called Oduamadi and he dismissed the report of his
injury. In fact he told that he had a match that same day, so I don’t know
where all these rumours emanated from.
"But we will assess everyone very well when they
come for the training camp."
