However, head coach of the team Michel Dussuyer says both players will be in the squad for the AFCON qualifier billed for the Stade Charles de Gaulle, Porto-Novo.
“Jordan played Tuesday night with his club, he played 90 minutes on top of the trip. It was just scrubbing for him. Sessi just needed to breathe, rest his thigh a bit but nothing serious, he will be there on the pitch,” Dussuyer told bjfoot.com.
The Squirrels occupy second spot in Group L with seven points from four games. A win in th highly anticipated encounter will see Dussuyer’s men qualify for January’s finals in Cameroon.
