Head coach Stephen Keshi decided to keep faith with the same squad and the team will have its first training session for the match at 8pm local time, which is 7pm Nigerian time.
Keshi who did not travel with the team on Sunday night due to pressing personal issues will link up with the rest of the squad this morning. In his absence, Dan Amokachi handled Monday’s work-out.
The team is quartered at the serene Southern Sun hotel on the outskirts of Cape Town. Reigning African champions, the Super Eagles of Nigeria, have landed in Cape Town, South Africa, ahead of tomorrow’s all-important 2015 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against host Bafana Bafana.
The team, made up of 21 players, technical officials and backroom staff was led into South Africa by NFF, Director of Technical, Dr Emmanuel Ikpeme. The team flew into Johannesburg from Lagos in a South Africa Airways plane. The flight from Lagos lasted six hours before it took another flight to Cape Town for the duel.
Among the 22 players that prosecuted the ill-fated game against Congo Brazzaville, only El-Kanemi FC goalkeeper, David Obiazor, did not make the trip.
This is contrary to media reports that strikers Gbolahan Salami and Uche Nwofor, both of who featured against Congo on Saturday had been dropped.
