Head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has banned visitors and journalists from the team’s camp ahead of the 2026 World Cup qualifier against Zimbabwe on Tuesday.

Chelles is demanding full concentration from the squad as they seek to revive their hopes of qualification.

This was contained in an official statement on Sunday, which also confirmed that Sunday’s training is closed off.

But Monday’s session will be open for 15 minutes.

It read: “Coach Eric Chelle is not carried away by the win over Rwanda and is demanding maximum concentration from the players prior to the next game.

“To this end, he has imposed restrictions in and around the team’s camp, no visitors, no journalists.

“Sunday’s training is closed. Monday’s session will be open for the mandatory 15 minutes and this will be shortly after the official press conference.”
