The training session started with some fitness run and stretches led by the fitness coach before the players were divided into two for a game of one-touch football.

The team with the highest number of consecutive passes won the tie. After that, the goalkeepers who were working on their own joined the rest of the team for a training match.

These are five things we learnt from the training session

1. Aaron Samuel is needed against Cameroon

CSKA Moscow forward Aaron Samuel was called up to the squad following injury to Alex Iwobi. The forward trained with the team on Tuesday and it was clear why he is a better choice for the Super Eagles for the games against Cameroon than Iwobi.

The CSKA Moscow man was menacing in training; fast with a good left foot and a physical presence, his is the type of striker that can trouble the Cameroonians. While Iwobi’s place in the Super Eagles is not under question, Samuel needs to be on the team more often. Well, he has to prove that he deserves call-ups like this in games.

2. Super Eagles new goalkeeper coach is seriously working on the goalkeepers

New Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer Enrico Pionetti was seriously working on the goalkeepers for most of Tuesday’s training session.

Pionetti spent most of the evening working with Daniel Akpeyi, Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Dele Alampasu separately from the group.

After Akpeyi’s horror show in June’s home defeat to South Africa, Pionetti is trying to make sure the Super Eagles goalkeepers don’t suffer a similar fate.

3. Elderson Echiejile is the only left-back in camp

Echiejile, it seems will be one of the first names in the Super Eagles starting XI as he was the only left-back in the camp.

During the training match that was played, it was clear why he keeps getting games for the Super Eagles.

In the training match, Tyronne Ebuehi, a right-back played in left-back for one team while Echiejile played for the other.

Judging from Echiejile's last few performances for the Super Eagles, competition is needed in that position.

4. William Troost-Ekong and Leon Balogun central defence pairing tried out

Rohr seems to have decided on the Troost-Ekong and Balogun pairing in central defence which he tried in training.

Although they conceded a goal courtesy of Odion Ighalo, Ekong and Balogun played well together. They communicated well and showed signs of a good partnership.

5. New boys settling in well

The likes of Ola Aina, Anthony Nwakaeme and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi got their first training session with the Super Eagles but they did not look out of place.

The boys hit the ground running and it was good to see.

Aina has trained with the Super Eagles squad before but with an almost different team.
