The Super Eagles, will Wednesday afternoon depart their current camp in Abuja for Uyo -host city of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Algeria billed to take place on Saturday.
Saturday’s outing will be Nigeria’s 50th World Cup qualifying home match as they take on the Fennecs of Algeria at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo.
The media officer for the Super Eagles, Toyin Ibitoye, told PREMIUM TIMES that the team will have its morning training in the Federal Capital Territory before flying out to Uyo in the afternoon.
“We are travelling to Uyo today but we would train first this morning in Abuja,” he stated.
“Our flight to Uyo is 2 p.m., so by noon we should be out of our hotel.”
On the reported injury scare in the Eagles’ camp, Mr. Ibitoye said there was no cause for worries as the players excused from Tuesday’s sessions will all have a go in Wednesday’s activities.
“They (Brown Ideye, Leon Balogun and Shehu Abudulahi) are all good to go, the coach only left them out of Tuesday’s training as a precautionary measure,” he explained.
With the three points from the first game away to Zambia, the Super Eagles are assured top spot if they beat the visiting North Africans on Saturday.
