There was confusion in the Super Eagles camp in London on Thursday after the team’s captain, Ahmed Musa left camp abruptly to return to Nigeria, citing personal reasons.
Musa was missing at the training ground on Thursday, as few other players also opted out of the training ahead of the final of the 2025 Unity Cup in London.
Recall that the Super Eagles overpowered the Black Stars of Ghana 2-1 at the GTech Community Stadium in London in one of the tournament’s encounters on Wednesday.
Wilfred Ndidi, Cyril Dessers, Semilore Ajayi all sat out the training, while those who were heavily involved in the Black Stars’ triumph, went through simple recovery programmes at the training.
Benjamin Fredrick, former Abubakar Bukola Saraki (ABS), Ilorin FC and Nigeria U20 International defender, who was not initially invited was spotted at the training ground.
Frederick, who plies his trade with English Premier League side Brentford, was involved in the training and other programmes of the Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, who concentrated majorly on the tactical approach of the game.
The Super Eagles will on Saturday lock horns with Jamaica in the final of the 2025 Unity Cup. The Jamaicans defeated their Trinidad and Tobago counterparts 3-2 to book a place in Saturday’s final.
