It was gathered that top Cameroon players said no team in Africa would want to meet the Gernot Rohr- tutored squad at this moment.
The Eagles, who are seating comfortably on top of the group B of the World Cup African qualifying games after beating Zambia 2-1 and Algeria 3-1, are expected to play the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon in August 2017.
The Cameroonians, the report said have expressed relief that the game would not be played at this time of the current Eagles form as they hope to up their form before the fixture.
France-based Cameroonian forward, Benjamin Moukandjo confessed that African teams would not want to play the Super Eagles at least for now.
Since the appointment of Coach Gernot Rohr, the Super Eagles of Nigeria are yet to taste defeat, winning their three games under the German coach, with two coming in the World Cup 2018 qualifiers. And Moukandjo, who plays for French side Lorient says they are lucky they are not playing Nigeria now.
“The fixture favours us a bit. We are lucky that we won’t play Nigeria anytime soon. They are in top form and shape at the moment. We are yet to pick up a win and we can’t say we are high in confidence like them, no team in Africa wants to face them now” He said.
“Anything can happen from now till next year. We will definitely not going to give up on being at the World Cup in Russia. It’s too early to do that. There are lot of games that could go in our favour”. He said
