Super Eagles have shown that they will leave no
stone unturned as they seek a qualification ticket for the Maroc 2015 Nations
Cup, with all the invited 24 players training Tuesday evening at the Mainbowl
of the Abuja National Stadium.
Before then, there had been an early morning training at the
Atro Turf of the Abuja National Stadium, that had 17 players in attendance with all the
others sending words to Head Coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, that it will be a
full house by the evening training session and it was.
The session even had the
luxury of having newly elected President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr
Pinnick Amaju Melvin in attendance and what a session it was for the players.
Head Coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, said after the evening
session that he has ruled out Ukraine based midfielder Babatunde Michael from
the encounter because he picked up a knock on the knee while playing for his
club. “We have good cover for him and we pray that he bounces back before the
return leg against Sudan in Nigeria”, he declared.
Michael himself was emphatic when he spoke about his injury.
“I really want to play this game against Sudan but fate says I will not but by
the return leg in Nigeria I should be back. The doctors have assured me that I
will be fit between four and five days time”.
Apart from that blot the team is
perfect in health with travel plans being made for Thursday by the NFF. The
team continues it preparation for the must win game against Sudan on Wednesday
morning at the Goal Project site of the Abuja National Stadium.
