Friendly: Super Eagles camp lively despite players pulling out

Football411 can report that ahead of the doubleheader this June, the Super Eagles camp in Vienna, Austria, is indeed lively and animated. 

No fewer than 17 players are in Austria ahead of the big game against West African rivals, the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon this weekend. 

The match, which is the first two games slated for Austria this June, will see our dear Super Eagles take on their Cameroonian counterparts this Friday at Stadion Wiener Neustadt, Austria. 

Just before the arrival of some of the players, it would be recalled the Eagles were hit with several players pulling out of the International friendlies. 

The likes of striker Victor Osimhen, Simy Nwankwo, who was set to make a return to the team since the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Ola Aina, and Tyronne Ebuehi have all pulled out. 

Spanish second division striker, Saqid Umar and Belgian hotshot, Paul Onuachu are also reportedly out of the games. 

However, leading by example, vice captain, William Troost-Ekong and Wilfred Ndidi were the early birds to the camp on Monday, with a contingent of players led by Senior man Kelz, Kelechi Iheanacho joining up Tuesday morning. 

Four others, including Lorient’s sensational youngster, Terem Moffi have since joined up the team, bringing the total number in camp to 17.
