Algeria head coach Rabah Madjer says the Super Eagles are a team of benchwarmers.

He also said only one player commands regular playing time for his team.

Madjer spoke on Thursday ahead of Friday’s World Cup qualifier with Nigeria.

According to the coach, who was part of Algeria’s Africa Cup of Nations title-winning team in 1990, Nigeria does not pose a threat to his side.

“I have studied the Nigerian team. Apart from Iwobi, every other player is mostly a substitute for his team in Europe, but that doesn’t mean they will not be at the level to face us,” the coach said.

“The game against Nigeria is not a friendly match for me…to me it is the first game of the qualifiers for the 2018 African Cup of Nations in Cameroon.”
