The Super Eagles camp in Polokwane is beginning to take full shape as Zaidu Sanusi and Jerome Akor Akor are expected to join the squad today (Wednesday). Their arrival will see them take part in the evening training session as Nigeria steps up preparations for the all-important World Cup qualifier against Lesotho.
As of Tuesday night, a total of 18 players were already in camp at The Ranch Hotel, with more stars set to arrive in the coming days.
USA-based midfielder Alhassan Yusuf Abdullahi is scheduled to land in South Africa on Thursday, further strengthening the squad. However, Russia-based forward Olakunle Olusegun is still awaiting his entry visa into South Africa, leaving his participation in doubt.
Nigeria’s clash with the Crocodiles of Lesotho will be staged at the New Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane on Friday, with kick-off set for 6pm local time (5pm Nigeria time). The Super Eagles know victory is non-negotiable if they are to keep their World Cup qualification hopes alive.
