AFCON 2021: Super Eagles gets major boost ahead of Sudan showdown

The Super Eagles of Nigeria were received a huge boost on Wednesday ahead of the team’s AFCON matchday two showdown with Sudan following the return of central defender, Kenneth Omeruo to training.

Omeruo, returned to training following an injury he sustained in the Africa Cup of Nations Group D opening 1-0 win over Egypt on Tuesday.

The CD Leganes centerback went down unchallenged in the 79th minute, before he was later stretchered off after medical assistance. He was replaced with Semi Ajayi.

Omeruo became a major doubt for the Eagles second group game against Sudan on Saturday.

However, the 25-year-old, who had an impressive outing against the Pharaohs, initially had a separate session with the physiotherapist, before rejoining the group and completing the training session.
