What Wilfred Ndidi said about incomplete Super Eagles camp
“To be honest it has affected the preparations because normally we are supposed to start training on Saturday and three days gone we have not been together,” Ndidi told TVC Nigeria.
“It has affected the team in some way where we are supposed to be knowing what we are actually doing, how to approach the game but we haven’t been able to do that.
“Few of them coming in today and the others coming in tomorrow it will be a great addition for us to prepare quicker.”
In addition, Kelechi Iheanacho, revealed little impact has been made in training since the cam opened.
According to the former Manchester City forward, some big training sessions has been stalled due to the absence of some players.
Speaking to TVC News on Tuesday, Iheanacho said: “Obviously we are not yet complete and we are missing few players, it’s just a little bit impact in the training sessions. Some of the big sessions that we needed to do we couldn’t because we are not complete.

He added, “Overall we have been working really hard and training since few days now so I think the coaches are doing a great job. We are really fit and ready to go.”
