Super Eagles Train On Lesotho Soil Ahead Of Sunday's AFCON Qualifier

Four hours after arriving Maseru on Saturday, Nigeria held their first training session on Lesotho soil this evening as they gear up for tomorrow's 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.

The Super Eagles had earlier arrived the country's capital in the afternoon aboard a Max Air charter flight and thus, have had their first feel of the synthetic playing turf.

With all the players in good condition after the session, the team posed for a group photograph at the Setsoto Stadium and will now set their sights to getting a favourable result from tomorrow's game.

This will mark the third time Nigeria have faced The Crocodiles in history, with the Super Eagles coming out top in each of the two previous clashes, triumphing 2-0 and 1-0 respectively.

Gernot Rohr's team started off their bid for the continental tournament with a 2-1 win over neighbours, Benin in Uyo on Wednesday to take early lead of Group L.

Tomorrow's game starts at 17:00 hours Nigerian time.
