.As Eagles hits Calabar
Vincent Enyeama |
The trio of Super Eagles first choice
goalkeeper, Vincent Enyeama, Israeli-based shot stopper, Austin Ejide and Real
Betis of Spain midfielder, Nosa Igiebor are among the early birds expected in
the Super Eagles' camp in Calabar on Monday.
These three will be joined by the rest of
the squad on Tuesday morning as some of the players have visa issues to sort
out, especially John Mikel Obi. Others have late games on Sunday evening and
will link up with the rest of the squad on Tuesday. “All the players will be
here on Tuesday and that is so because some of them have little visa issues to
sort out at their clubs and we expect to have a full house at Tuesday training
session,” said Coach Stephen Keshi.
The national team departed for Calabar on
Monday morning and the technical crew has already scheduled a training session
for Monday evening at the Abraham Odia Sports Complex inside the University of
Calabar.
Officials say there is absolutely no time
to waste ahead of Saturday’s crunch qualifier against the Lone Star of Liberia.
Arrangements have since been made for all
the invited players to find their way to Calabar and as usual, the Metropolitan
Hotel in the heart of the city will be the camping site of the national team.
At the weekend, Keshi named seven
home-based players to join the 15 foreign-based earlier announced for the
encounter on Saturday in the Cross River State capital.
