22 Eagles Begin Preparation For Niger Friendly As Ajani Replaces Injured Nwachukwu

Written By sportsweight.blogspot.com on Tuesday, August 7, 2012 | 2:37 AM







The Super Eagles had their first training Monday evening since returning to camp at the Practice Pitch of the National Stadium with Head Coach, Stephen Keshi complaining bitterly about the state of the pitch. 
 As a result, the team will relocate to the FIFA Goal Project artificial turf in the same vicinity despite the fact that the friendly against Niger Republic will be played on natural grass.
In all 22 players trained on Monday evening with Sunshine Stars players still being awaited. 
 The players from the Akure based side are four in all and they were expected to join the team by Monday night on time for Tuesday morning training.
Addressing the old and the new invitees, Keshi again told them to stand firm against any inferiority complex, as they have equal opportunities to nick shirts like the players who are based abroad for the September 8, Nations Cup qualifier against the Lone Star of Liberia. “Just show me what you can do on the pitch and leave the rest for us to do when time for selection of players for the games come”, he said.
Keshi also announced that Heartland winger, Obinna Nwachukwu, who is injured has been replaced by Crown FC Femi Ajani, who is already in camp and showed flashes of a player hungry for greatness in the round-leather game.
 Goalkeepers: Chigozie Agbim (Warri Wolves), Daniel Akpeyi, Heartland FC.
Defenders: Azubuike Egwuekwe (Warri Wolves), Papa Idris (Kano Pillars), Juwon Oshaniwa (Sharks FC), Ezekiel Henry (Rising Stars), Francis Benjamin (Heartland FC), Umar Zango (Kano Pillars), Osuchukwu Ogonna (Enugu Rangers)

Midfielders/Forwards,: Ejike Uzoenyi (Enugu Rangers), Sunday Mba (Warri Wolves), Reuben Gabriel (Kano Pillars), Uche Kalu (Enyimba FC), Henry Uche (Enyimba FC), Femi Ajani (Crown Fc), Christian Ofili (ABS FC), Solomon Jabason (Akwa United), Kabiru Umar (Heartland FC), Chibuzor Onyekwelu (FAME FC),Sanusi Sani (Gombe United), Sibi Gwar (Niger Tornadoes), Philip Asuquo(3SC).

Awaited: Moses Ocheje, Gowfrey Oboabona, Izu Azuka, Kwambe Solomon (All Sunshine Stars)
