striker Victor Osimhen and Fernabahce defender Bright Osayi-Samuel were both missing in action as the Super Eagles held their first training session at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena in Lagos on Monday ahead of their 2023 AFCON qualifier against Seirra Leone on Sunday in Liberia,Both players are the last to arrive at the five-day camp as 19 of the 21 players in camp took part in the first training session on Monday afternoon.
Home-based duo Ebube Duru and Divine Nwachukwu were left out of the ball workings on Monday, in order to allow them recover from the intense actions of the NPFL Super 6, which ended on Sunday, where both of them featured in all games for Rivers United and Bendel Insurance respectively. However, the two home-based goalies in the squad, Olorunleke Ojo and Victor Sochima, who were both in goal on Sunday night for Enyimba and Rivers United respectively in the last game of the NPFL Super 6, joined Isreal-based Adebayo Adeleye in the drills.
In the session which lasted over an hour, the players were put through their shooting, passing and crossing accuracy by coach Jose Peseiro and his foreign assistants, just as goalkeeper trainer Abiodun Baruwa worked with the goalies.
