The bulk of players for Friday’s World Cup qualifier against Swaziland were yet to arrive camp when the team held its first training.

Coach Sunday Oliseh expects full training to commence on Tuesday morning ahead of this weekend’s World Cup qualifier against Swaziland.

Only ten of 24 players were available to the coach on Monday evening during the team’s first training session.

Watford’s Odion Ighalo, Wolverhampton’s Carl Ikeme, Sunshine Stars’ Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Sharks’ Chima Akas made the session.

Others were Dele Alampasu, Jamiu Alimi, Austin Oboroakpo, Kalu Orji and Paul Onobi.

“Full training will definitely commence Tuesday by the special grace of God when most of the players would have arrived,” Oliseh disclosed.

Players that arrived late on Monday and those still in transit via Lagos are expected to arrive early in Abuja on Tuesday morning and should be part of the full work out.

However, the three invited goalkeepers trained at the main bowl of the Abuja National Stadium on Monday evening under the supervision of goalkeeper trainer Alloy Agu.
