Meanwhile, Nigeria has been handed a big boost ahead of the game against Sao Tome and Principe with midfielder Innocent Bonke returning to full training.

Bonke had missed the Super Eagles’ last two matches due to injury.

Bonke was replaced by Katsina United defender Sani Faisal at halftime of the encounter.
