Injury Scare In Super Eagles Camp In Abuja

Barely 24 hours before the crucial 2015 African Nations Cup, AFCON, qualifier against Sudan on Wednesday, 15 October, 2014, reports emanating from Nigeria’s Super Eagles camp in Abuja inform that CSKA Moscow winger Ahmed Musa is battling to be fit for the match.
According to Supersport report, Musa, who was substituted in the 1-0 loss to Sudan in Khartoum last weekend could not train with the rest of the Eagles’ team Monday’s evening.
It was gathered that the former Kano Pillars player is carrying a knock suffered from the Sudan game and is now in danger of missing the encounter against the Falcons of Jediane.

Meanwhile, national team officials assured that Musa would be fit in time for Wednesday match in Abuja, stating that the 21-year old forward sitting out training today was a precautionary measure.
Also, Volyn of Ukraine midfielder Michael Babatunde was not involved in training with the team as he still hasn’t recovered from his injury which made him miss the game in Khartoum.

Babatunde, one of Nigeria’s revelations at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil, had his right thigh heavily strapped and looks all but out of the game.

Nigeria will face Sudan at the National Stadium in Abuja on Wednesday in a must-win encounter.
The Super Eagles are bottom of Group A of the qualifiers after picking up just a single point from three matches.
South Africa are group leaders with seven points followed by Congo who have six and Sudan on three points.
The Stephen Keshi-led side must win the tie against Sudan to keep alive the now thread-bare hopes of reaching AFCON 2015 and defending the title won in South Africa in February last year.
In a related development, Keshi told supersport.com in an interview that he has never enjoyed the support of Nigerians from the first day he took the reins of the national team in 2011.
