Ahead of Thursday’s showdown against Cote d’Ivoire, the Super Eagles resumed training on Monday.

Notably absent from the session were Frank Onyeka, William Troost-Ekong, Ola Aina, Simon Moses, Victor Osimhen and Alhassan Yusuf, who rested to aid their recovery post the Equatorial Guinea match.

Reassuringly, the players were merely undergoing a precautionary phase to ensure their optimal condition for upcoming games.

On a positive note, Kelechi Iheanacho participated in the training, indicating his full fitness.
