Aina in line to feature against Ecuador as Bonke battles fitness concerns

The Super Eagles will face Ecuador in New Jersey on Friday (in Nigeria)

Ola Aina has rejoined the rest of the Super Eagles players in training after having to hold a separate session for some days.

The Torino defender had picked up a knock during one of the team’s sessions and missed Nigeria’s loss to Mexico in Arlington.

Aina, having recovered from the knock is now in contention to face Ecuador in New Jersey as Jose Peseiro hopes to see the team improve on their previous performance.

Innocent Bonke who picked up an injury against Mexico may not face the South American World Cup-bound team as he is yet to recover from the knock he picked in the game.

Recall that Bonke was replaced on Sunday morning after struggling with an injury in the game.

The Super Eagles will also face Sierra Leone on the 9th of June before travelling to São Tomé and Principé to face the island nation four days later.
