Super Eagles camp came to life yesterday as news of the progress made on the lifting of FIFA suspension filtered in at their training pitch at the National Stadium in Abuja. All but three of the invited foreign-based players trained with the team yesterday.
Dickson Etuhu became the latest player to bow out of the match due to injury he allegedly sustained at his club Fulham. Mikel Obi and Osaze Odemwingie had earlier also been ruled out due to injuries sustained at their club matches last weekend.
