Keshi sweats on Imenger, Ikenna

After observing an off day in which they were allowed to go shopping, the Super Eagles returned to training Wednesday at the Cape Town stadium training pitch. But not all the players trained with the rest of the team.

Media officer to the team, Ben Alaiya told journalists that Barnabas Imenger who is recovering from a ‘minor’ illness and Ikenna Paul (hamstring) did not train with the rest of the team.

’’In terms of fitness, the team is 95 per cent ready, ‘’ Alaiya started, pointing out that Imenger is expected to be fit enough for the tie against Morocco on Saturday.

’’You saw Imenger and Ikenna Paul jogging round the pitch as their colleagues train. While Imenger is almost healed, Paul is also witnessing a rapid improvement. As at last week he couldn’t move around but now you can see him jogging. Everything is looking perfect in terms of health apart from the red card given to Solomon Kwambe,’’ Alaiya said.

He observed that the morale in camp is very positive and every player is gearing to go. ‘’The players and coaches are very determined and that is the type of spirit you want to find in a team that wants to win a championship.’’
