Half-Pitch Training : How Super Eagles Lined Up, Ola Aina, Mikel & Nwakaeme Impress

Super Eagles manager Gernot Rohr did not give out too many clues regarding his possible starting eleven for the World Cup qualifiers against Cameroon during the Super Eagles first training session on Tuesday evening.

Twenty-two outfield players were divided into two groups and engaged in a half-pitch practice game which lasted for about 25 minutes, while the goalkeepers were being put through their paces by Enrico Pionetti.

In the team wearing blue bibs were : Leon Balogun, Chidozie Awaziem, Troost-Ekong, Uwa Echiejile, Wilfred Ndidi, Mikel Agu, Tony Nwakaeme, Ahmed Musa, Aaron Samuel, Moses Simon and Iheanacho.

Uche Agbo, Tyronne Ebuehi, John Ogu, Eddy Onazi, Abdullahi Shehu, Ola Aina, Ifeanyi Ifeanyi, Victor Moses, Mikel Obi, Oghenekaro Etebo and Odion Ighalo were part of the non-bib wearing team.

The highlights of the session were Obi Mikel dribbling past two players at once, Tony Nwakaeme involved in combination play and Chelsea loanee Ola Aina showing some good skills.
