Aina In, Bonke Out Of Ecuador Friendly

Ola Aina is in the frame to feature in Nigeria’s friendly against La Tri of Ecuador on Friday after returning to team training, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Torino defender had picked up a knock during one of the team’s sessions and missed Nigeria’s loss to Mexico in Arlington.

Aina, having recovered from the knock is now in contention to face Ecuador in New Jersey as Jose Peseiro hopes to see the team improve on their previous performance.

Innocent Bonke who picked up an injury against Mexico may not face the South American World Cup-bound team as he is yet to recover from the knock he picked in the game.

Recall that Bonke was replaced on Sunday morning after struggling with an injury in the game.

Bonke was replaced at half-time by Sani Faisal.

20 players are available for selection following Emmanuel Dennis’ arrival on Tuesday.

The Super Eagles will take on Ecuador at the Red Bull Arena, Harrison, New Jersey on Friday morning at 1:00am Nigeria time.
