flight delay holds coach, others

Brown Ideye and Victor Osimhen are among the early arrivals at the Super Eagles camp in Uyo as the national team get set for this weekend’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania.

The game is scheduled for Saturday at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium.

The Nigeria Football Federation, through its official Twitter handle, also confirmed that Emmanuel Daniel, Jamiu Alimi, Imoh Ezekiel and Musa Mohammed were also in town for the Tanzania game.

However, Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, and a handful of players had flight delays in Lagos and are now expected to arrive in Uyo on Tuesday.

In a related development, in-form Chelsea star, Victor Moses, has also confirmed that he would be hitting the Super Eagles camp on Tuesday as the national team get set for their dead rubber AFCON 2017 qualifier against Tanzania.
