AFCON: Boost For Super Eagles As Awaziem Resumes Training
Super Eagles defender, Chidozie Awaziem, is expected to resume training with the team Tuesday as he has been cleared by the medical team.
The Eagles will train at the annex of Roumde Stadium, Cameroon at 8:30 pm.
A Super Eagles interim coach, Augustine Eguavoen, had on Friday said Chidozie Awaziem was recovering from an ankle injury.
Eguavoen, while fielding questions from newsmen, clarified that Awaziem was nursing an ankle complaint that saw him miss Saturday’s clash against the Falcons of Jediane (Sudan) at Roumdé Adjia Stadium, Garoua.
Alanyaspor central defender has not been spotted in public since the final workout of the Super before they took on Egypt.
He also missed the team’s last two training sessions, fueling speculations in some quarters that he had tested positive for COVID-19.
Eguavoen expressed the hope that Awaziem would join his teammates in training.
“Hopefully soon, that is beyond my control. I think if the medical staff were here now they will certify him fit to be back on the pitch.
“Awaziem is still down, he has an ankle injury as I know and he is going to be back very, very soon,” he had said.
