AFCON 2023: Peseiro confirms Sanusi’s return to training ahead of Cote d’Ivoire clash

Super Eagles head coach Jose Peseiro has revealed left-back Zaidu Sanusi will be further assessed ahead of the side’s clash with Cote d’Ivoire.

Sanusi missed the Super Eagles semi-final win against South Africa due to a minor hamstring injury.

The 26-year-old, however, trained with his teammates on Friday.

“Zaidu trained with the team yesterday. We have another training later, we will check if he can play,” Peseiro told reporters on Saturday.
