ALL the 23 players invited by coach Stephen Keshi for Saturday's World cup qualifier against the Flames of Malawi took part in today's training at the UJ Esuene Stadium, Calabar, venue of the match.
No fewer than 7,000 fans watched the evening training amid a downpour.
The zeal to grab a shirt in Saturday's match was visible on the faces of every player sweating it out under the watchful eyes of the former coach of Mali.
Brescia of Italy forward, Nnamdi Oduamadi and John Ogu of Academica de Coimbra of Portugal were the last two players to arrive in the camp and the duo were impressive in training.
Keshi while speaking after the evening training allayed fears on selection challenge saying it should not be a source of worry to Nigerians.
“We are cruising well, but not yet over the line. We have to send the best guys out there to get the job done on Saturday,” said the man who coached Togo to their first World Cup appearance in 2006 in Germany.
