PHOTOS: Super Eagles in training ahead of Cameroon clash

The Super Eagles held their final training ahead of Friday’s game against the Indomitable Lions at the Wiener Neustadt Stadium, Austria.

The boys were carefully watched by coach Gernot Rohr and his backroom staff who are keen to maintain a winning run against the Lions.

Nigeria have not lost a match since their 1-0 defeat by reigning African champions Algeria in an international friendly also in Austria in October 2020.

Since then, they have drawn 1-1 with Tunisia’s Carthage Eagles in a friendly, drawn 4-4 and 0-0 with Sierra Leone in back-to-back 2021 AFCON qualifying matches in November 2020; defeated Benin Republic 1-0 in Porto Novo in another 2021 AFCON qualifier and thrashed Lesotho 3-0 in the finale to the 2021 AFCON qualifying race in Lagos.

Sparta Trnava of Slovakia defender Anthony Izuchukwu, joined up with the Nigeria camp at the Hilton Garden Inn, Wiener Neustadt on Wednesday, moving the needle on the number of players in camp to 21.
