The Chippa United shot-stopper sat out training on Monday night at the Police College, Cocody.

“He (Nwabali) is with us, we are hoping he will be available for the game against Angola,” Peseiro told reporters.

“He will undergo another test on Wednesday. After that, we will know whether he can play or not.”

The Super Eagles will take on the Palancas Negras of Angola at the Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, Abidjan on Friday.
