Nigeria captain, Vincent Enyeama and striker Ikechukwu Uche were unable to participate in the Super Eagles first training session ahead of the make or break Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Congo in Pointe Noire. The duo were the last players to hit the Eagles Bolton White Apartment abode in Abuja and they were excused from the evening training session which coach Stephen Keshi supervised.

After some tactical sessions, Keshi chose to play the probables against the possibles to the delight of a sizeable number of fans at the arena.
Aaron Samuel was the star of the possibles as he scored a classic goal against Agbim in goal for the probables but goals from Emmanuel Emenike and Mikel Obi eclipsed his efforts before Keshi called a close to the session.
Preparations for the game against Congo continues on Wednesday in Abuja with Keshi saying he was totally satisfied with the fitness level of his players and hopes it continues like that till match day.
