Musa leaves Eagles camp in London, returns to Nigeria for personal reasons
Super Eagles captain Ahmed Musa has left the team’s camp in London to return to Nigeria for personal reasons.
Musa was missing from the training ground on Thursday, as a few other players opted out of the training ahead of the 2025 Unity Cup final in London.
The Eagles overpowered the Black Stars of Ghana 2-1 on Wednesday at the GTech Community Stadium in London in one of the tournament’s encounters.
Wilfred Ndidi, Cyril Dessers, and Semilore Ajayi all sat out the training, while those who were heavily involved in the Black Stars’ triumph went through simple recovery programmes at the training.
Benjamin Fredrick, a former Abubakar Bukola Saraki, Ilorin FC, and Nigeria U20 International defender, who was not initially invited, was spotted at the training ground.
Frederick, who plies his trade with English Premier League side Brentford, was involved in the training and other programmes of the Super Eagles coach, Eric Chelle, who concentrated majorly on the tactical approach of the game.
Nigeria will play Jamaica on Saturday in the final of the 2025 Unity Cup.
The Jamaicans defeated their Trinidad and Tobago counterparts 3-2 to book a place in Saturday’s final.
