The Super Eagles of Nigeria held their final training session ahead of their last Group match against Guinea-Bissau on Monday.

Jose Peseiro’s side defeated Ivory Coast 1-0 on Thursday to boost their chances of qualification into the knockout phase of the ongoing AFCON and will look to finish on a high note against the African Wild Dogs in Abidjan.

Kelechi Iheanacho — who has not played a match since overcoming injury to join the team — was seen training with the group. Ahmed Musa was also seen sweating it out as the coaching crew put the players through their paces.

Earlier in the day, Peseiro had told the media that the only aim of his team is to win the final of the tournament.

“The main point here to my players is our team, the Super Eagles, our sole aim is to win the final,” he said.

“Not give a chance for some players or one player because he deserves [to play]. All of them deserve it.”

Nigeria, with four points from two matches, will play Guinea-Bissau at Félix Houphouët-Boigny stadium, Abidjan.
