I can see some people whining about Ighalo, somebody that still played about 2/3 weeks ago, not months o and he's resumed training ahead of tournament that will start in over one week time, what exactly is the problem there? players have knocks and they come back from it fully fit. I know weytin they pain some of una, it's because if he had been dropped your favorite boy would have been picked sorry Ighalo will start at Afcon and he'll surely bully Burundi

Oscar Tabarez sets up his sides to be solid at the back and depends mostly on the pace and brilliance of his attackers. That's the way he sets up his team

gustav25:
Some of these old men here can't just stop making me laugh ...So Ajayi was dropped after making sure performance and none of you are crying but Iheanacho Nacho mbappe better than kylian Kelechi got his useless ass dropped and a certain Joe guy is shouting Sinister and Dark everywhere like it changes a thing ?

Super Eagles forward, Odion Ighalo has resumed full training with the squad as the team continues preparations in Ismailia for the Africa Cup of Nations, AOIfootball.com reports.



The Shanghai Shenhua star forward has been out after sustaining a minor injury in Shenhua’s 1-1 draw against Tianjin Teda in a Chinese Super League encounter and missed the Super Eagles warm-up friendly against Zimbabwe last weekend in Asaba.

The forward had some training sessions with the team in Asaba but was not dressed for the warm-up clash against the Warriors which clearly indicated the coach was still allowing proper recovery. Ighalo had said he would not rush the recovery process in order to forestall a relapse.

The 29-year-old however completed full morning training routines with the whole squad for the first time in the camp at Ismailia after working with his personal physiotherapist and also undergoing some rehabilitation exercises towards recovery.

Ighalo’s return will come as a boost to the team as they vie for honours at the Nations Cup in Egypt.

TheGoodJoe:


Iheanacho was already in camp. Ighalo's name was on the list when he was not fit. His place should have gone to another. Now we have to hope he is fit for the tournament which does not add up for me.

forgiveness:


I hope Rohr is not gambling with the decision to take injured Ighalo to AFCON?

The guy just completed his recovery today. Chineke meeeee.

So, Rohr was planning to drop an inform Osimhen before now. Someone who was the best Nigerian striker in Europe for that matter!?

I am beginning to think Rohr wants to destroy our football ni.

You are really having a good feeling about this AFCON?

Now, that was why Rohr took both Onuachu and Osimhen, just in case Ighalo didn't recover early enough or his injury relapses.

Sincerely, I am not raising this red flag because of Iheanacho. I am only concerned we are going to the AFCON with an unfit striker.

Well, I may not know the extent or degree of the "knock" he received, but what I know is regaining full fitness for games takes a recovery process which can run into days or weeks. And so if you rush back that player too early the injury may relapse. So that means Ighalo will only be involved in light trainings for now. But would he have been fully fit before the game against Burundi?

andrew444:


I don tell am to post source and e no fit

Dem just dey find excuse because of say dem drop iheanacho

Not until I read Rohr’s target is the semi finals.

andrew444:


Okay bro

But did any news says ighalo is out of afcon ?

Ighalo is not fit maybe before the first or second game he will be fit ,then why the noise as if he is out for 2 months ?

soetanoreoluwa:


There is no noise anywhere... If you read my previous post you will see where I reported he is back in training... He trained with rest of the boys on Thursday... So where is the noise. The point is he wasn't fit bfr the list was released that was the outcry and that is the major reason of taking paul and victor incase of unforeseen circumstances.

No one is saying anything about Josh Maja too.

The first are second games are still AFCON games and going short is not a good way to begin the competition.

We can only pray for quick recovery.

People are funny, so you will drop AFCON qualifiers highest goal scorer because of a knock that would heal a week to the tournament. Lol.
However, they are clamouring for someone without a single goal for the national team in 2years to be selected.

I am quite surprised with how things turned out for him.
Forget not the "Better be a Lion in the lower league than mouse in higher league" mantra? My mind was persecuted then
