However, two Nigerian stars, Tyrone Ebuehi of Venezia in Italy Serie ‘A’ and Paderbon’s Jamilu Collins were absent during the training session and the duo are expected to join the squad in Garoua.

Okocha told The Guardian in a chat in Lagos: “Salah is one of the biggest stars that will be on parade in Cameroon.”

“But also remember that the Super Eagles is loaded with top stars. We have players who can cage Salah, even, if it means deploying two players to mark him out. The first match matters a lot for Nigeria, and I know that coach Austin Eguavoean will want to put smiles on the faces of Nigerians.”
