The senior national team of Nigeria had their penultimate training ahead of the second leg of their world cup playoff against Ghana in Abuja.
Both countries played a 0-0 draw in the first encounter on Friday and ahead of the second leg, Nigeria fine tuned preparations yesterday with emphasis on some adjustments in the area of attack.
OwnGoalNigeria.com watched the session which lasted for one hour, 30 minutes and it was more on the finishing in the team opponent’s half after seeing how they failed to convert any of the chances that came their way on Friday in Kumasi.
From all indications it appears Ahmed Musa will likely start in place of Samuel Chukwueze who won’t be available after picking up an injury in the first leg in Kumasi. Musa is for now the front runner for his role.
Yesterday in almost all of the drills, Musa was heavily involved and he didn’t disappoint with his strong deliveries and runs opening up spaces for the attackers to finish up.
