Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr is still awaiting his most influential player in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in the form of Victor Osimhen ahead of the start of Wednesday's training session at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
The Napoli striker is Nigeria's most important player in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers in terms of goal contribution, having been involved in a remarkable 83.3 percent of the goals (3 goals, 2 assists) scored by the national team.
President Amaju Pinnick revealed on Tuesday that the Nigeria Football Federation sent Osimhen another flight ticket after his earlier flight was cancelled.
Rohr can count on Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze, CSKA Moscow star Chidera Ejuke and late invitee Paul Onuachu in today's workout, with the trio reporting for international duty in Benin City this morning.
Semi Ajayi, Abdullahi Shehu and Jamilu Collins have yet to show up in Benin City and the same applies to goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi.
The Kaizer Chiefs glovesman is currently airborne after leaving South Africa and has given his word that he will join his international teammates on Wednesday.
