Nigeria super eagles have full capacity in Singapore as they began training yesterday ahead of Sunday’s friendly with five-time world champions Brazil.
But Stoke City of England’s Oghenekaro Etebo is a late withdrawal from the squad list, but all the other 21 players trained yesterday morning and will train twice today. The official training session will take place on Saturday, with the match scheduled to kick off at 1 pm Nigeria time on Sunday.
Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has opted not to call any more players following the withdrawal of Etebo, and Wednesday’s withdrawal of defender Olaoluwa Aina as a result of an injury.

Former junior international midfielder Ramon Azeez also makes a return, and defenders Abdullahi Shehu and Chidozie Awaziem, as well as midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, are back after missing the 2-2 draw with Ukraine in Dnipro last month.
