The Super Eagles of Nigeria had their first workout ahead of Sunday international friendly game against Brazil in Singapore and Owngoalnigeria.com has obtained details of the session.
Coach of the team Gernot Rohr took out time to have a personal conversation with two of the newly invited players in Sparta Prague Peter Olayinka and CSKA Sofia winger Viv Solomon-Otabor.
Rohr spoke with them separately before having a chat with Tyronne Ebuehi who is returning to the team after over a year absence due to injury as the players geared up for a recovery session.
The coach also spent some time with Rangers of Scotland midfielder Joe Aribo who scored in his debut game for the Super Eagles in the 2-2 draw against Ukraine. Their chat will most likely be on his recovery from the head injury he sustained while on club duty.
Tomorrow they are expected to have their full training after today’s recovery session which had 19 players in attendance as the team awaits the arrival of three more players in Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Jamilu Collins and Oghenekaro Etebo. Collins is however in Singapore as at the time of filing in this report while Ezenwa will arrive later today with the rest of the backroom staff from Nigeria.
