The Super Eagles of Nigeria will later today have another training session as they step up preparation for Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers game against Sao Tome and Principe in Uyo, OwnGoalNigeria.comreports.
Already they have had two sessions in preparation for the game making our editorial team to pick the players who have so far impressed and those who are yet to show their worth.
In goal , Francis Uzoho has been really fired up in his quest to reclaim his spot from Adebayo Adeleye, who stood in for him while he was suspended in the last round of game away to Benin Republic. Despite his limited game time he has so far displayed very good ball handling and reflexes.
Higher up the pitch, Victor Boniface has caught the eyes with his power playing all action style. Blessed with pace, skills and finishing abilities he hasn’t look out of place despite getting involved for the first time with the team. The Bayer Leverkusen forward will most definitely play some part on Sunday.
Bruno Onyemaechi has been a revelation at left back with the way he is winning duels and initiating attacks, the Boavista man can be said to be leading the battle for who will start in the absence of Zaidu Sanusi.
Moses Simon was too much to handle for his friend Jamilu Collins, who is returning to the team for the first time since 2020. Simon tormented the Cardiff City left back and twice set up easy finish for Kelechi Iheanacho.
As expected Victor Osimhen has been on fire in what can be said to be a deadly combo with Samuel Chukwueze, the duo who have been teammates since their days with the Nigeria U17 team are proving to be a handful for defenders.
Meanwhile, some other players are yet to hit it off as at the time of this report.
