The duo of Jamilu Collins and Alex Iwobi were not part of the senior national team of Nigeria first full training ahead of their 2022 World Cup qualifiers.
They took part in the warm up exercise with the rest of the team but after that weren’t part of the practice match which took place later on during the session.
It’s still unclear why they didn’t take part in the full session but it appears to be fitness related as they trained separately with the physical trainer of the team.
Both players will likely take part in tomorrow’s session as they came through the drills with the fitness coach unscathed. A total of 20 players took part in the full session with two goalkeepers in Francis Uzoho and Daniel Akpeyi.
The third goalkeeper in the squad Maduka Okoye who is also the first choice goalkeeper was conspicuously missing from the session entirely.
