All set for CAR matches as Eagles open camp today

Nigeria will host CAR in Lagos on Thursday and then travel to Douala, Cameroun for the reverse fixture, which holds on October 10.

Earnest training will start tomorrow when all the invited payers are expected to have arrived in Lagos.Apart from Oghenekaro Etebo and Wilfred Ndidi, who have been ruled out of the matches by different shades of injury, the 22 players listed for the game will move into the Eko Hotel camp on arrival, latest today.

As is always the case, the early arrivals will train at the hotel’s facilities, including the gymnasium, “before moving to the Teslim Balogun Stadium when all the players arrive.”Nigeria tops the group with six points after victories against Liberia in Lagos and Cape Verde in Mindelo respectively. Six points from the games against CAR will all but cement the Super Eagles passage to the last round of the Qatar 2022 qualifying series, African zone.

Pressure is mounting on Leicester City manager, Brendan Rodgers, and the absence of midfield interceptor Ndidi will only add to the team’s woes.Leicester sorely missed Ndidi, who was not available for the disappointing draw with Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park due to a hamstring problem yesterday.
