Commenting on who he thinks would make the final team list, the Big
Boss said: "Yes, I have an idea of those who will go with us to Brazil
but we will still wait till the last minute before we announce the
list."
Keshi said he was delaying naming the list so as to have a second look at those who are not measuring up.
On when the last minute would likely be, he said: "June 2 is the date we are looking at."
Meanwhile, Keshi has scheduled twice a day training for the 30 players in the pre World Cup squad.
The
first of the training session took place 8am (1pm Nigerian Time) on
Friday in Philadelphia, while the second took place at 4:30pm same day.
This training regime is expected to be sustained ahead of the naming of the 23-man list for the Mundial in Brazil.
The
team is putting up at the Westin Hotel and Resort in the centre of
Philadelphia, an hotel described by the team's psychologist, Dr Robinson
Okosun. as serene and a delight place.
