The senior national team of Nigeria yesterday had their first real training session ahead of tomorrow’s high profile friendly game against Portugal at the José Alvalade Stadium in Lisbon.
Yesterday’s session had all but one of the invited player in Samuel Chukwueze present hence they were made to face up against each other in a test game under the supervision of head coach of the team Jose Peseiro.
Peseiro had the players play against themselves in a test game except Calvin Bassey, who is presently injured and still remain a huge doubt for the game unless he comes through today’s training unscathed.
Bassey was subbed off injured during Ajax’s 3-3 draw against Emmen in the Dutch Eredivisie. His team blew a three goal lead following his substitution just before the start of the second half due to a knock. He isn’t fully fit yet but has to be in camp on the orders of the coach.
