Chelsea star, John Obi Mikel and Emmanuel Emenike were both on target at the Super Eagles training match on Tuesday in Abuja as the national team effectively kick started their preparations for this weekend’s make or mar clash away to Congo.
Coach Stephen Keshi in his characteristic manner split the Eagles squad into probables against the possibles to the delight of a sizeable number of fans at the arena.
China based Aaron Samuel who scored a wonder goal in the game against Sudan last term in Abuja was the star of the possibles as he scored a classic goal again against Agbim in goal for the probables but goals from Emmanuel ‘Ogbunigwe’ Emenike and Mikel Obi eclipsed his efforts before Keshi called a close to the session.
With the full complement of players now on ground, preparations for the game against Congo continues Wednesday in Abuja with Keshi saying he was totally satisfied with the fitness level of his players and hope it continues like that till match day.
The Eagles need to beat the Red Devils by a two-goal margin or higher than they did in Calabar to effectively put themselves back in contention for next year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
