Super Eagles To Hold Two Training Sessions Each Day Before Zambia Trip

Published: October 02, 2016

The Super Eagles are expected to begin training in Abuja on Monday, October 3, ahead of their trip to Zambia for their World Cup qualifier against the Chipolopolo.

Twenty three players, including twenty foreign-based professionals, have been invited for the crucial tie, and will train twice a day, in the morning and evening each day, before departure to Southern Africa via a chartered aircraft on Friday.

Meanwhile, Super Eagles manager Rohr have been handed a fitness boost, with skipper John Obi Mikel declaring himself fit for the match, contrary to earlier statements credited to Chelsea manager Antonio Conte.

Gent winger Moses Simon is also in tip-top condition and he quashed rumours once and for all regarding his availability for the game after playing a large part in his team’s 1-0 loss to Club Brugge in the Belgian top-flight today.

Chelsea winger Victor Moses remains doubtful for Sunday’s game, which will be staged at Levy Nwanawasa Stadium .
