Photos and videos of the team’s sessions were shared on the Super Eagles’ Twitter handle.
The sessions were light and basically meant to shake off any fatigue from the players but the team would have more intense training on Wednesday with coach Gernot Rohr.

Captain Ahmed Musa and Paul Onuachu of Genk were the last players to hit the camp for the friendly matches.
Onuachu was called up by head coach Rohr after Victor Osimhen of Napoli was ruled due to travel restrictions caused by COVID-19.
