AFCON2019: 3 KEY PLAYERS MISSING IN SUPER EAGLES TRAINING AHEAD OF GUINEA CLASH
Joseph Omoniyi
Reports say three key players from the Super Eagles missed the team training yesterday in Alexandria ahead of their second group game against Guinea on Wednesday.
There are fears that the three absentees, Shehu Abdullahi, Jamilu Collins and Samul Kalu were all absent from due to heavy injury worries.
The Super Eagles chose to hold the session behind closed doors, allowing the players to concentrate ahead of Wednesday’s encounter against the National Elephants.
Abdullahi, who was substituted owing to a hamstring injury sustained against the Swallows, was absent from training and looks set to miss the tie against Guinea.

Collins and indisposed Kalu were also not part of the group which trained
inside the Alexandria Stadium, with coach Gernot Rohr expected to ring
some changes for the crunch tie.
Captain John Obi Mikel, who was replaced by Ahmed Musa on Saturday, was in good
spirit with Ighalo raring to add to his goals tally.
