Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle led his first training session with 15 players at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium training pitch on Tuesday night.
The team’s first training session, originally scheduled for earlier in the day, was moved to 8pm.
The change followed delays and flight schedule changes that affected the arrival of some players.
Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Semi Ajayi, Alex Iwobi, Alhassan Yusuf, Moses Simon, Benjamin Fredrick, Akor Adams, and goalkeepers Stanley Nwabali and Arthur Okonkwo took part in a light session under the floodlights as the three-time AFCON champions prepare for a crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying double-header against Tanzania.
The Franco-Malian tactician is preparing his squad for two important Group L fixtures against Tanzania, with Nigeria needing maximum points to boost its qualification prospects. The first leg will be played at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium in Uyo on Friday, November 13, while the return match is scheduled for Tuesday, November 17, in Zanzibar.
