Nigeria U23s Get Back To Business After Two Days Of Inactivity; Troost-Ekong Flies To Brazil

The Dream Team VI returned to training on Monday ahead of their trip to Brazil for the Olympic Games, allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed.

It would be recalled that the Nigeria U23s did not practice on Saturday because none of the players agreed to pay for a bus that will take them to the Georgia Soccer Park in Atlanta, while unfavorable weather conditions prevented them from working out on Sunday.

Saviour Godwin has left the camp to resume pre-season training at his club while Gent loanee William Troost-Ekong is expected to arrive Manaus before the team, having departed Stavanger on Monday morning.

According to the Media Officer of the Nigeria U23, Timi Ebikagboro, players and officials will depart Atlanta aboard a chartered flight operated by Private Jet Services, to Manaus on Tuesday afternoon.

The chartered flight to Manaus will take about seven hours.
