Super Eagles boosted as Yusuf, Troost-Ekong make a comeback in Training

Ahead of their crucial clash against Cameroon this Saturday, Super Eagles midfielder Alhassan Yusuf and vice-captain William Troost-Ekong have returned to training.

Yusuf, who faced an injury setback during the opening match against Equatorial Guinea, missed subsequent games, including victories over hosts Ivory Coast and Guinea-Bissau. In his absence, Frank Onyeka, Joe Aribo, and Alex Iwobi admirably anchored the midfield, securing two wins for the 2013 AFCON champions.

Troost-Ekong, the PAOK defender, played a pivotal role in Nigeria’s triumph against Côte d’Ivoire, scoring from the penalty spot. However, he had to train separately before the Guinea-Bissau clash due to an injury.

Recent images from their training sessions present a positive development as Yusuf and Troost-Ekong are back with the team, providing a much-needed boost for the Super Eagles.
