The Super Eagles of Nigeria would hold their first official training ahead of Saturday’s 2019 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers against Libya on Wednesday morning with the full complement of players except Odion Ighalo and Bryan Idowu who are expected before lunch time on Wednesday.
The Eagles were expected to train this evening after the majority of players arrived earlier in the day, but it was cancelled at the last minute with head coach Gernot Rohr asking the team to use the gym within the Ibom Hotel and Resort which is where they are lodged.
22 players led by stand-in captain Ahmed Musa were part of the workout session watched by a handful of fans.
