According to the report below from Kickoff, all the players returned to camp before the deadline except Anichebe who was permitted to fly to England.
Everton striker Victor Anichebe was the only player missing as the Super Eagles resumed training in Abuja after a two-day break following their 2-0 win over South Africa on Sunday.
The striker was excused by coach Shuaibu Amodu, who gave him permission to fly to England. He is expected to be back in camp on Thursday.
All the players reported to camp ahead of the 13h00 deadline issued by Amodu and the coach stated that it was a sign of seriousness.
"I'm happy they all came back before the deadline. It is a sign of seriousness, discipline and dedication.
"It is also a sign that we're all on the same page in our commitment to reach the 2010 World Cup finals," Amodu stated.
