The Super Eagles camp is full to capacity in an effort to leave no
stone unturned as they seek a qualification ticket for the Maroc 2015 Nations
Cup, with all the invited 24 players training yesterday evening at the Mainbowl
of the Abuja National Stadium.
There had been 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 Keshi that it will be a full house by the
evening training session and it was. The session was graced by newly elected
President of the Nigeria Football Federation, Mr Pinnick Amaju.
Head Coach Stephen 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 will continue its preparation for the must win game against Sudan today at
the Goal Project site of the Abuja National Stadium.
