Meanwhile, D’Tigers held their first training session at the Indoor Sports Hall of the National Stadium in Lagos under the tutelage of Alex Nwora and his assistant, Ogoh Odaudu.

The 8 players already in camp; Emenago Obinna, Omoerah Keith Saido, Braxton Ogbueze Jai, Mbamalu Bryant, Agada Caleb Apochi, Moses Kingsley, Mehinti Tosin and Okosun Obehioye had a light workout with special focus on offensive moves and ball works.

According to Nwora, Thursday’s training will be more comprehensive and explosive with the arrival of three members of the team on Wednesday evening.

Speaking at the end of their training session, Nwora expressed satisfaction with the physical condition of the players.

“We have seen some of the boys and we are trying to shape them into what we are looking for. It’s too early to say how soon the team can be in top shape, because this is our first training session.”

The team will hold another training session at 9am on Thursday.
