The senior national team of Nigeria had their first full training session in Abuja ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers game against Sierra Leone on Thursday.
Head coach of the Nigerian team Jose Peseiro who will be leading the team out for the first time in a competitive game put the players through their paces for around two hours.
After various drills, the coach had the players up against each other in a test game which was decided by a solitary goal from Genk of Belgium forward Cyriel Dessers.
Peseiro later supervised a shooting drill which had all players take shots at the three goalkeppers in the camp of the team for the game. Meanwhile the duo of Innocent Bonke and Emmanuel Dennis trained separately as they continue to recover from knocks.
