Brave Warriors attacking midfielder Rudolf Bester is a doubtful starter for Sunday&rsquo;s World Cup qualifying match against Nigeria in Calabar.<br /><br />Bester, who plays for South African Premier League champions Orlando Pirates, has been suffering from a thigh muscle injury and according to coach Bernard Kaanjuka it is doubtful whether he will play.<br /><br />&ldquo;Bester&rsquo;s injury is serious. I don&rsquo;t think he can play against Nigeria, but we will still wait and see,&rdquo; he said.<br /><br />If Bester is ruled out, it will be a big setback for the Brave Warriors since he is the most experienced player in the squad with 39 caps for Namibia. He is also Namibia&rsquo;s all time leading goal scorer along with Gervatius Urikhob with 12 goals.<br /><br />Black Africa striker Jerome Louis has also been suffering from an ankle injury but according to the NFA&rsquo;s technical director Klaus Starke, he is responding well to treatment.<br /><br />&ldquo;Jerome is looking good, he has trained the last few days in Germany and should be available for selection,&rdquo; Stark said.<br /><br />Kaanjuka meanwhile said the team&rsquo;s training camp in Kaiserau, Germany had gone well.<br />&ldquo;Preparations have been going well for the team thus far. We have the best facilities in this town, with a gym, a nutritionist, natural grass, artificial grass, you name it and the team has thus far optimally utilized all that to their benefit,&rdquo; Kaanjuka said.<br /><br />Kaanjuka said that the team spirit was high and that he was expecting a spirited performance in Nigeria on Sunday.<br /><br />&ldquo;The players are very eager to play and the team spirit in the camp is exceptional. We are confident that it will replicated on the pitch on Sunday,&rdquo; Kaanjuka said.<br /><br />He added that the young players were blending in well with the senior players and the discipline of the players was good as well.<br /><br />&ldquo;The senior players are very helpful and the young ones are willing to listen and take advice and that I believe is something that we need in the team,&rdquo; he added.<br /><br />The team will play their third and final warm-up match against a local German side, SV Herbern in Aschberg on Wednesday.<br /><br />Last week Namibia drew 1-1 against a Germanregional team Westfalia Rhynern with Willie Stephanus scoring Namibia&rsquo;s goal in the first half.<br /><br />The Brave Warriors will depart for Lagos, Nigeria on Thursday before they connect to Calabar for their 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier match on Sunday.<br /><br /><b>Reproduced by allnigeriasoccer.com; Permission from namibiasport.com.na </b><br />
