Ahead of Saturday’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Seychelles, the Super Eagles took out time to engage in volleyball on Tuesday.
Around 18 Eagles are currently camped in Victoria, Mahé Island.
Not pausing for a full house, Gernot Rohr began preparations for the encounter.
In a video shared on Twitter, the three-time African champions were spotted engaging each other in volleyball rather than football.
