The Nigeria Super Eagles squad are pictured training hard ahead of the crucial games vs Cameroon on their way to the 2018 World Cup in Russia... Table -toppers Nigeria are confident of overhauling Cameroon's Indomitable Lions when both teams clash in perhaps the biggest match of Africa's Group B of the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying race on Friday.
Team captain Mikel John Obi is at the head of 22 players who were as at Tuesday morning in the Akwa Ibom State capital for the big encounter, with only Cyprus -based Abdullahi Shehu and Russia -based Aaron Samuel still expected at the Ibom Meridien Hotel.
Tuesday's arrivals were Moses Simon, Uche Agbo, Leon Balogun, John Ogu, Anthony Nwakaeme and Victor Moses, joining up with Mikel Obi, Ogenyi Onazi, Oghenekaro Etebo, Kelechi Iheanacho, William Ekong, Ahmed Musa, Chidozie Awaziem, Ola Aina, Daniel Akpeyi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Mikel Agu, Odion Ighalo, Wilfred Ndidi, Dele Alampasu, Elderson Echiejile and Tyronne Ebuehi who made it to Uyo on Monday.
Nigeria, on six maximum points from their first two matches, will all but seal a place in Russia if they snap up the three points on offer on Friday evening. Zambia and Algeria, the other two teams in the group, have one point each and clash at the Heroes National Stadium in Lusaka on Saturday.
