Head Coach José Santos Peseiro has the full complement of invited players as three-time African champions Nigeria gets set for what could be a fiery international friendly with Portugal in Lisbon on Thursday.
All the invited players have arrived at the camp, with the manager Jose Peseiro leading the training session today.
The training was intense, with a lot of ball work, unlike on Tuesday when it was just ten players that trained (light fitness work), and it was without a goalkeeper.
The team is expected to have another training session, which is last before the match against the World Cup-bound Selecao.
Nigeria’s clash against Portugal will be the first meeting between the two countries at the senior level.
The match will hold at Sporting Lisbon ground Estádio José Alvalade, with kick-off set for 7:45 PM on Thursday night.
