Eagles in light training session, as Oboabona sits out

With 72 hours to go before Nigeria stage an attempt to remain at the Brazil 2014 World Cup, the Super Eagles had a light training session on Tuesday evening at Estádio Brinco de Ouro.

 

After sharing the spoils with Team Melli, the Super Eagles find themselves in the same situation as they were at the 2013 African Nations Cup, where they played a 1-1 draw with Burkina Faso in their opening fixture.

 

Coach Stephen Keshi did not look for scapegoats after the goalless draw at Arena da Baixada, Curitiba, and has started preparing for the next game.

 

On Tuesday, the players spent most of the day in their rooms until the team coach left the Vitoria Hotel Concept around 17h30 for recovery training which lasted less than an hour.

 

Needing rest after the demanding encounter with Iran, the squad skipped their usual fitness training at the Vitoria Hotel Concept gym.

 

The Super Eagles will have their last training session at Estádio Brinco de Ouro on Wednesday evening at 17h30 before embarking on the 776 - mile journey to Cuiabá.

 

Due to a foot injury, Godfrey Oboabona did not practice with the rest of the squad, and it is confirmed he will not be on parade at Arena Pantanal on Saturday.
