One Man Is Still Missing As Iwobi, Aina, Iheanacho, Balogun, 18 Super Eagles Train In Asaba Pre-RSA

Published: November 13, 2018

The Super Eagles held their first training session on Tuesday evening ahead of their upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against South Africa in Johannesburg, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

English-based stars Alex Iwobi, Leon Balogun, Isaac Success and Oghenekaro Etebo all reported for international duty before the start of the workout at the Stephen Keshi Stadium.

With the exception of Bordeaux winger Samuel Kalu, all the players invited for the AFCONQ took part in the workout under the guidance of manager Gernot Rohr.

Today's training session was closed to the public but the Nigeria Football Federation have permitted fans and the media to watch their next workout on Wednesday evening.

The Super Eagles players and officials will be airlifted to Johannesburg aboard a chartered flight on Thursday evening.

A draw for the three-time African champions against Bafana Bafana would see them qualify for next year's tournament in Cameroon with a game to spare.
