The Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, has said he is not losing sleep over the decision of the Confederation of African Football to allow Stallions of Burkina Faso danger man, Jonathan Pitroipa, play in the final.
At pre-match conference on Saturday afternoon, the Nigerian coach declared that Pitroipa will not get any special attention.
He, however, praised CAF for rescinding the red card decision.
Keshi said: “I applaud CAF’s decision.
“The video showed he didn’t deserve the red card.
“It is also good for football that he is back”
“It doesn’t change my plan in anyway whether Pitroipa plays or not.
“He deserves a chance to play in the final.
“Nigeria should expect the best from us but it is going to be a tough game.
“Burkina Faso deserves respect for getting to the final.”
