The Super Eagles held their penultimate training session at the Arab Academy of Science, Technology and Maritime Transport on Friday, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
Having said that, Collins wore football boots in the training session which gives everyone hope that Rohr's prediction may come to pass, with the German earlier stating that the Paderborn left-back is set to make a return from injury vs Madagascar.
Although Shehu had an ice pack strapped to his lap during the workout, Rohr is hoping the Bursaspor defender will be available for the later stages of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Victor Osimhen is pushing for a starting spot against the Barea as he scored another goal in the practice session, a brilliant header that beat goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi at his far post.
The Sporting Charleroi star has proved a handful for opposing defenders in the last two workouts.
Playing as an outfielder, Francis Uzoho has got some good football skills in his locker which is not surprising as he started his career as a striker.
Yesterday, Gernot Rohr and Leon Balogun celebrated their birthday and the Super Eagles players can give a belated birthday present to the coach by beating Madagascar.
Chelsea Academy product Ola Aina was the last player to leave the pitch as he was doing some kick around before going to join the players in the bus.
The versatile fullback could make his third consecutive appearance of the tournament on Sunday with doubts surrounding the fitness of Abdullahi Shehu and Jamilu Collins.
