Super Eagles Refuse To Train In Egypt

Super Eagles did not train at the Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria Monday night because they complained of tiredness after a six-hour flight from Abuja.

The Eagles had to endure a two-hour delay at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium in Abuja due to late approval for the chartered flight to fly over Sudan to Egypt.

And that was after a two-hour bus ride from Kaduna to Abuja, also on Monday.


It was further gathered that on Sunday coach Samson Siasia put the squad through a grueling four-hour training session under floodlights at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium in Kaduna.

The crucial Egypt vs Nigeria AFCON second clash will kick off at 6pm Nigerian time.
