Nigeria vs Gabon team news
The Super Eagles had a light training session on Monday with 14 players, including the early birds, captain William Troost-Ekong and others.
Eric Chelle had a full house of the invited 24 players before the training session on Tuesday, which unfortunately did not hold due to a protest from the players.
Super Eagles stars boycotted training to protest against the Nigeria Football Federation over outstanding allowances owed to the players for several years.
According to the NFF, the issue was resolved on Wednesday, in time for the players to train at Institut Royal de Formation Des Cadres in Salé for over three hours.
There are no reports of injuries, and only Semi Ajayi has no chance to feature due to suspension after accumulating two yellow cards during the group stage.
