-

LEICESTER City star, Wilfred Ndidi is on the road to full recovery and is expected to resume full training with the Super Eagles in the coming days. According to allnigeria­soccer.com, the defensive midfielder jogged with the Super Eagles players at yesterday morning’s training session at

Godswill Akpabio Internatio­nal Stadium in Uyo.

Ndidi was with the team for about ten minutes before he went on special training. He did some stretching exercises and ran on the sidelines but did not take part in the elevena-side practice game.

But there are no more question marks surroundin­g the fitness of Torino midfielder, Joel Obi, and Brighton & Hove newbie Leon Balogun, as both players participat­ed in full training and looked sharp.

Leicester City striker, Ahmed Musa and Bursaspor defender Abdullahi Shehu, who reported for internatio­nal duty on Wednesday have not been included in the stating line-up at the ongoing practice game.

Whilst Dele Ajiboye and Daniel Akpeyi were training with the goalkeeper coaches, Francis Uzoho and Ikechukwu Ezenwa were in goal for the practice match.
