Nigeria’s super eagles continue to prepare for the crucial World Cup qualifiers against South Africa and Benin Republic respectively with fifteen players taking part in a comprehensive session on Monday morning, at the training pitch of the Godswill Akpabio stadium.
The training which lasted two hours included fitness and shooting drills, plus tactical sessions led by head coach Finidi George and his assistants stepped preparations up for Friday’s game against South Africa.
Eight more players including Maduka Okoye, Semi Ajayi, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Calvin Bassey, Frank Onyeka, Alex Iwobi, Ademola Lookman and Paul Onuachu are yet to join the squad.
A statement from the new media officer of the team Promise Efoghe says they are in the country but unable to arrive camp because of the ongoing Nigeria Labour congress strike which has stalled domestic flights.
There will be no training on Monday evening with the players allowed some time to rest and undergo a recovery session.
