Among the players present were the African Footballer of the Year, Ademola Lookman, and first-choice goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali.

The session, led by head coach Eric Sekou Chelle and his technical staff, also saw goalkeepers Amas Obasogie and Nwabali in action, alongside Sevilla duo Akor Adams and Chidera Ejuke.

The squad has been further bolstered by the arrivals of Bright Osayi-Samuel and Raphael Onyedika, with expectations that star striker Victor Osimhen will join the team in training today.

In a similar development, Osimhen has confirmed that his focus is now fully on the World Cup play-offs, after his club, Galatasaray, suffered a 1-0 loss to Kocaelispor in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday. Despite the disappointment, Osimhen expressed his determination to shift his attention to representing Nigeria on the international stage.

“The game has happened, and I’ve moved on from that. Now, I focus on my national team,” Osimhen said, emphasizing his commitment to the Super Eagles’ World Cup campaign.

With his dedication and talent, Osimhen’s presence is expected to be key for Nigeria as they look to secure a spot in the final qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
