Two previously injured Super Eagles of Nigeria players, Alhassan Yusuf and Stand-in captain, Williams Troost-Ekong have returned to team training ahead of Saturday’s round of 16 game against the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.
The duo trained fully with their teammates at the Police College in Cocody, Abidjan, on Wednesday night.
Recall that Troost-Ekong missed the Super Eagles’ 1-0 victory against the Djurtus of Guinea-Bissau on Monday due to a knee injury.
The PAOK Salonica centre-back was replaced in the starting line-up by Kenneth Omeruo.
Yusuf sustained a thigh injury in Nigeria’s opening game against Equatorial Guinea and have since missed two games.
The game was his first competitive appearance for the Super Eagles.
The Royal Antwerp of Belgium player missed Nigeria’s last two games against Cote d’Ivoire and Guinea-Bissau due to the setback.
Yusuf will play a part when Super Eagles confront the Cameroonians on Saturday for a quarter-final ticket.
