Super Eagles Hold Recovery Session

The Super Eagles held a recovery session on Saturday evening in Port Harcourt after arriving the city from Swaziland, where they took on the Sihlangu Semnikati in a World cup qualifier.

Under the guidance of coach Sunday Oliseh, the players jogged around the pitch in a bid to shake off the fatigue from Friday night’s encounter.

At this stage, the major injury concern ahead of the fixture against the Southern Africans is the fitness of AS Trencin’s Rabiu Ibrahim, who had to make way for Kelechi Iheanacho 20 minutes after he came on for Sylvester Igboun in the second half yesterday.

Since 1993, the Super Eagles have always qualified for the final round of qualifiers in the African zone, but were narrowly beaten to the ticket for the 2006 edition of the World Cup by Angola, who had a better head to head record.
