Home-based Super Ea- gles coach, Okey Emordi is disappoin-ted at the lack of seriousness to the African Nations hampionhip (CHAN) qualifier against Burkina Faso which holds this weekend this weekend.

The former Enyimba coach told KickOffnigeria.com that he has been in Calabar waiting for the players only to realize that the NFA was yet to release the list he sent to them long ago.

"I am in camp without players because the NFA did not release the list I sent a long time ago. I don't know how to describe this situation but what can I say. I thought we should have been in camp long before now," he lamented.

The list was finally released by the NFA on Monday, and Emnordi says preparations can now start in earnest.

"They have now corrected that mistake and I am expecting the players from today."

Nigeria play Burkina Faso in the first round qualifiers of CAF's newest competition for players plying their trade in local leagues.

The match comes up at the UJ Esuene Stadium on Sunday, May 4.
