The results of the players and staffs further debunk the a report that circulated a few hours ago about four players in the camp of the Super Eagles testing positive in camp.

This was due to a misinterpretation of what coach Gernot Rohr said during the Press Conference yesterday.

Right said four Super Eagles players tested during the lockdown but they recovered fully before coming to camp.

News Alert.
Please discountenance any reports that some of our players tested positive to COVID 19 ahead of tomorrow's friendly game against Algeria.
It is a blatant falsehood. #SoarSuperEagles #Team9jaStrong
