CHAN-bound Super Eagles are still battling for Kano Pillars striker Gambo Mohammed to be fit in time for the continental tournament in South Africa.
The Pillars striker according to MTNFootball.comis still nursing a hamstring injury.
The injury kept him out of the recent Charity Cup clash against Enyimba in Warri and he also did not feature in this week’s Eagles friendly against Niger Tornadoes in Abuja.
Mohammed again did not train with the rest of the squad on Friday as he was put through his paces by the team’s physiotherapist.
Mohammed is one of the established players in the home-based Eagles squad and even featured at the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil.
Meanwhile, Golden Eaglets goalkeeper Dele Alampasu could miss out on the CHAN as he is expected to attend the FIFA Awards in Switzerland next month after he and Kelechi Iheanacho received a special invitation to the prestigious event.
Alampasu missed Friday morning’s training so as to be at the embassy for his visa interview.
