At a media briefing on Tuesday, he said, the game against Madagascar would be a difficult one, taking into consideration, their recent performance at the continental level.
“We expect a difficult game against them, because they have seen great improvement recently, but we have the quality to overcome them,” Coach Hughton stated.
“We have other players that could have been here but couldn’t make it due to injuries, but that is always part of the game and that gives opportunity to others.
“We have no standard line up. Each player is capable of making the first 11,” he stated.
Coach Hughton added, “I have always been impressed with the level of commitment at training.
“The players are responsible, dedicated and desperate for success. They want to win laurels for the country and that is why this game is important for us.
