Photos and videos of the team’s sessions were shared on the Super Eagles’ Twitter handle.
The sessions were light and basically meant to shake off any fatigue from the players but the team would have more intense training on Wednesday with coach Gernot Rohr.

Captain Ahmed Musa and Paul Onuachu of Genk were the last players to hit the camp for the friendly matches.
Onuachu was called up by head coach Rohr after Victor Osimhen of Napoli was ruled off from the games due to travel restrictions caused by COVID-19.

The game between Algeria and Nigeria will be the fourth time both sides will play in the last three years.
Both teams were in the same group during the qualification series for the 2018 FIFA World Cup where the Nigerian side hammered the Fennecs 3-1 in Uyo before a 1-1 draw in Constantine.
The last meeting between them was at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final where a Riyad Mahrez late free-kick earned the North Africans a 2-1 victory as they (Algeria) went on to win the competition, beating Senegal in the final.
