Why Super Eagles failed to train in Egypt on Monday

Following a six-hour flight from Abuja, the Super Eagles failed to train at the Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria on Monday night.

The team had to endure a two-hour delay at the Nnamdi Azikiwe Stadium, due to late approval for their chartered flight, which was meant to fly from Sudan to Egypt. And this was after they spent two hours on the road, travelling from Kaduna to Abuja on Monday.

According to reports, coach Samson Siasia had put the players through a gruelling four-hour training session in Kaduna.

By the time the squad arrived in Alexandria, they complained of fatigue, which led to training being called off.

Nigeria will take on the Pharoahs by 6pm on Tuesday.
