The Super Eagles camp in Lagos for the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifcation opener against Liberia at the Teslim Balogun Stadium is bubbling with about 90% of the 30 players invited already on ground.
Among the early birds are Captain, Ahmed Musa, Tyronne Ebuehi, Leone Balogun, Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong, Maduka Okoye, Terem Moffi, Jamilu Collins, and Valentine Ozornwafor, while Chidozie Awaziem, Zaidu Sanusi, Paul Onuachu, and Joe Aribo are still being expected as of 7 am Tuesday morning.
Meanwhile, the Media Officer of the team, Babafemi Raji, has debunked claims that the Super Eagles were ejected or denied access to the gym at the team’s camp.
This follows a video which has been trending on line showing the Assistant Coach and former international, Joseph Yobo, arguing with an official of the hotel.
Raji confirmed the alteraction between Yobo and the hotel offical but affirmed that the Super Eagles were neither ejected nor denied access to use the facility.
“What happened was a minor misunderstanding between an assistant manager of the hotel who was on an inspection walk and some members of his staff.”
Raji claimed that the assistant manager yelled out at his staff so much that it distracted the gym session of the Super Eagles prompting the intervention of some of the backroom staff of the Super Eagles.
Ngeria will play Liberia on Friday, September 3 at the Teslim Balogun Stadium Lagos before facing Cape Verde on Tuesday, September 7.
