Algeria friendly: Awaziem early bird as Eagles open camp in Constantine

Super Eagles have opened camp in Constantine Algeria ahead of September 27 friendly with the foxes. Journey man and HNK Hajduk Split loanee Chidozie Awaziem is reportedly early bird to the camp.

Awaziem joined the Croatian side on August 1st  with an option to make it a permanent move at the end of the season. It will be 6th club Awaziem heading to on loan from since joining parent club Porto. About 18 players have reportedly hit camp late Monday evening.

Eagles and the foxes both missed opportunity to earn a ticket to the world cup in Qatar, and hope to use the friendly to shape up ahead of 2023 Nations Cup in Cote d Ivoire.

More players are expected to hit the camp in coming days. Captain Ahmed Musa may miss the friendly unless he recovers fast enough after pulling off from his club’s match in the 19th minute on Sunday night.

In recent friendly matches,  the José Peseiro tutored eagles lost 2-1 to Mexico and 1-0 to Ecuador respectively.
