Barely 72 hours before their crucial World Cup qualifier clash against South Africa’s Bafana Bafana, the Nigerian national team’s preparations have been hampered by the ongoing labour strike. Eight key players remain unable to join the team in Uyo.
In a move that seems to be a further attempt to buy time, officials announced the cancellation of Tuesday morning’s training session, following a similar decision on Monday evening in favour of a recovery session.
The team’s media office confirmed, “The only training session on the schedule for Tuesday will be at 4 pm and it is a closed session, hence members of the press will not be allowed access.”
