Members of the Super Eagles have resumed training ahead of their second group game against Guinea on Wednesday at the ongoing AFCON 2019 in Egypt.
The Gernot Rohr lads would be hoping to consolidate on their win over Burundi when they file out against the Syli Stars at the Alexandria Stadium.
The national team Twitter handle: @NGSuperEagles, stated: “We are back on the training pitch.
“Our build up to the next game in this #TotalAFCON2019 tournament begins.
“The session will be open.”
Nigeria needed a late goal from substitute Odion Ighalo to claim a 1-0 win over a brave Burundi side playing their first-ever match at the Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.
Ighalo, set free by Ola Aina’s clever flicked pass, side-footed the ball past Burundi goalkeeper Jonathan Nahimana in the 77th minute, four minutes after coming on in the opening Group B match.
Nigeria now leads Group B with three points ahead of Guinea and Madagascar who are on one point each.
