WATFORD defender William Troost-Ekong is delighted to be back with the Super Eagles camp ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against Benin and Lesotho.
Sportsbiz247.blogspot.com reports that Nigeria, top of the Group E log with eight points (one ahead of Benin Republic and five more than third-placed Sierra Leone), tackle the Squirrels away at the Stade Charles de Gaulle in Porto Novo on Saturday, 27th March and will lock horns with the Crocodiles of Lesotho at the Teslim Balogun Stadium, Lagos three days later.
Troost-Ekong, who arrived in Nigeria on Sunday night after helping Watford to a 3-0 victory over Birmingham City in Saturdays' Championship game, uploaded a picture of himself while working out in the gym on Monday.
“Back
with the boys. Let’s work!!!” the Super Eagles Vice-captain posted along with
the picture.
Nigeria
are on the verge of qualifying for the Afcon tournament for the 19th time as
they currently lead Group L with eight points after four matches while Benin
trail them by one point.
Sierra
Leone occupy the third spot with three points after four matches and Lesotho
sit at the bottom of the league table after picking up two points from the same
number of outings.
After
Algeria with 11 goals, the Super Eagles are the second-highest scoring team in
the qualifying series with 10 goals but they have conceded seven goals as well.
