Nigeria’s super Eagles had a light but tactical training session on Monday evening preparatory to their final Nations cup qualifying match against Lesotho.
Twenty-three players trained under the supervision of German manager Gernot Rohr who may be fielding a different line up in the home game on Tuesday.
The result of the fixture against Lesotho is inconsequential, but the game will provide fans the opportunity to see the Eagles play in Lagos again.
The Super Eagles have qualified for the Africa cup of Nation and sit comfortably at the top of Group L with 11 points from 5 matches.
Benin Republic are second in the group and will be desperate to pick a point against Sierra Leone to ensure qualification.
Meanwhile, the Lagos State Governor Mr. Babajide Sanwo-Olu has urged Lagosians to cheer the Super Eagles and expressed his excitement about the team’s return to Lagos for the final qualifiers against Lesotho.
He expressed this in a tweeter message Tuesday afternoon. “As you watch the match in your homes or as a guest at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, please cheer on the #SuperEaglesHomecoming as we take sports in Lagos to the next level.
“I am excited as for the first time in 20 years, we witness the homecoming of our dear Super Eagles as they play their AFCON qualifier at our state soccer homeground, the Teslim Balogun Stadium”.
“Sports is an important part of our THEMES agenda for Lagos” averred the sport loving governor.
