Only Belgium defender Elderson Echiejile was still making his way
to the camp as at Tuesday evening. Coach Rohr and his assistants put the
players through their paces twice on Tuesday. They will also train on Wednesday
morning before flying to Uyo in the afternoon.
In camp are goalkeepers Daniel Akpeyi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Dele
Alampasu; defenders Abdullahi Shehu, Musa Muhammed, Leon Balogun, William Paul
Ekong, Kenneth Omeruo, Uche Agbo and Kingsley Madu; midfielders Mikel John Obi,
Ogenyi Onazi, John Ogu, Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo and; forwards Victor
Moses, Brown Ideye, Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Moses Simon, Odion Ighalo
and Ahmed Musa.
Group leaders Nigeria looked sharp in training on Tuesday, and the
Fennecs certainly have a mountain to surmount in Uyo on Saturday.
The Super Eagles go into the match on a four –match winning
streak, going back to the summer when they defeated Mali 1-0 in Rouen, France
and spanked Luxembourg 3-1 in Luxembourg City. Both were friendly matches.
In September, the Eagles pipped Tanzania 1-0 in a 2017 Africa Cup
of Nations qualifier in Uyo, before edging Zambia 2-1 in Ndola at the start of
the 2018 FIFA World Cup race on 9th October.
Manchester City of England’s youthful forward Kelechi Iheanacho
scored in all four matches.
