Nigeria's Super Eagles test their readiness for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Egypt with a friendly game against Zimbabwe on Saturday, June 8.
It will be recalled that the three time AFCON champions failed to qualify for the last two editions and it will be important they tie all loose ends before the tourney kicks off later this month.
According to coach Gernot Rohr, he has insisted that he will use the game to test the fitness of his players who had limited playing time at their various clubs.
This includes Leicester City star Kelechi Iheanacho and Leon Balogun of Brighton & Hove Albion, and their performances will determine if they will make the final 23-man shortlist.
Nigeria get their campaign started in Egypt against Burundi on June 22, before proceeding to face Guinea and Madagascar in their Group.
Rohr, after this test game will finalise his preparations for the forth coming competition in Egypt after this friendly match.
