    The return leg will be in Nigeria two weeks later.

    Training has been fiercely competitive as all the players in the team’s training squad have beqen doubling up so as to make the final cut for the trip to Tanzania.

    In Monday evening training, Manchester City midfielder Chidiebere Nwakali needed four stitches around his mouth after he was elbowed to show how the intensity of the training has risen.
