Former DR Congo captain Gabriel Zakuani says the current composition of the Super Eagles cannot win the AFCON tournament.
The 34-year-old Zakuani believes the present Super Eagles are not prepared to repeat their success in 2013, given their poor performances lately.
Gernot Rohr’s men are close to taking a place at the continental tournament, as they currently top qualification Group L table with eight points.
Nigeria played out back-to-back draws against Sierra Leone in their last qualifying games in November, including squandering a four-goal lead in one of the outings which generated a lot of criticism.
The Super Eagles will take on Benin and Lesotho in their final AFCON qualifying games later this month, and a win in either of the matches will ensure their qualification for the continental showpiece.
