With fourteen days to the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers between Nigeria and Guinea Bissau, Super Eagles defender, William Troost-Ekong, is in a race to be fit for the clash as he resumes individual training.
The 29-year-old picked up an injury in his club 1-0 defeat to Hellas Verona last month.
The Eagles are scheduled to play the Djurtus in a two-legged affair as they bid to book their place at the AFCON in Ivory Coast next year.
Nigeria currently top their Group A with six points following wins over Sierra Leone in Nigeria before thrashing Sao Tome and Principe 10-0 away from home.
Victories in the double header clash against Guinea-Bissau will see the three-time Africa champions pick the ticket to Ivory Coast next year.
