Eagles pass COVID-19 tests again, seek redemption against Tunisia

The Super Eagles will battle Tunisia on Tuesday (today), after players and officials of the national team tested negative for COVID-19 on Monday.

The match, billed for the Jacques Lemans Arena in the Austrian city of St. Veit an der Glan, will start at 7:30 pm Nigerian time.

The Eagles had also undergone the COVID-19 tests on Thursday, before their 1-0 loss to Algeria in Klagenfurt, Austria.

The three-time African champions will be hoping to bounce back against the Tunisians after Friday’s defeat.

The Nigerians defeated Tunisia 1-0 to clinch bronze at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations – after losing to Algeria in the semi-final, and are unbeaten in their last five matches against the Carthage Eagles –  two wins and three draws – with their last defeat 16 years ago after a penalty shootout in the semi-final of the 2004 AFCON in Rades, Tunisia.
