Saudi Arabia-based striker George Ilenikhena, who scored on his Super Eagles debut, as well as Jerome Akor, did not train with the rest of the squad on Saturday in Uyo.
SCORENigeria understands that this may be because the two strikers picked up knocks in the 2-1 win over Madagascar, and so it was better for them to train on their own.
Both strikers started against Madagascar, but one of them is expected to be dropped for Tuesday’s important 2027 AFCON qualifier in Guinea Bissau.
Ilenikhena, for one, justified his starting spot with the equaliser in first-half stoppage time, before another debutant, Moses Usor, won it for the Super Eagles with an amazing solo effort midway through the second half.
