Head coach of Nigeria's Super Eagles,Stephen Keshi has revealed that he already knows the set of players who will make his final 23-man squad to the 2014 World Cup, but insisted he will wait till the last minute before announcing it.

Keshi said this after the team had their first training at the Philadelphia Eagles Stadium in the United States, adding that he is thrilled by the level of tactical and technical depth displayed by the players but there was need to be cautious.

“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,” he said.

The former Togo boss explained that he was delaying the announcement so as to have a second look at those who are not measuring up.

The national team will face Greece on June 3, shortly after the coach must have submitted his squad list to FIFA, and have been having training sessions since touching down at Philadelphia.
