The 2014 African Nations Championship
Most Valuable Player, Ejike Uzoenyi, alongside Almeria midfielder
Ramon Azeez and Belgium-based Michael Uchebo were impressive during the
Super Eagles training on Tuesday ahead of the friendly game against
Scotland on Wednesday (today).
Coach Stephen Keshi will certainly be in
good mood as the team’s more established players also gave a good
account of themselves at the Craven Cottage training pitch under chilly
conditions, as the fight for the 2014 World Cup places intensified.
Forward Nnamdi Oduamadi, who missed the
first training session of the team, arrived in camp after lunch time
yesterday after a visa mix-up but France-based Sunday Mba, remained the
only player yet to join the team in London.
There are doubts over the ability of the
midfielder, who scored the winner to hand the Eagles a third Africa Cup
of Nations title last year, to arrive in time for the match against the
Scots.
Meanwhile, players have hailed the training session, which lasted over two hours.
“You don’t play the World Cup every year and time,” goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama said.
Defender Azubuike Egwuekwe said, “The training was tough and good.”
Keshi said the players needed the
session to get them ready for the task of playing against the best teams
at the World Cup in Brazil.
