Alebiosu returns to Super Eagles training ahead of Algeria quarter-final

Ryan Alebiosu has resumed full training with Nigeria's Super Eagles in Marrakesh, just days before their AFCON 2025 quarter-final clash with Algeria. The 24-year-old defender missed the Round of 16 victory over Mozambique after suffering a leg cut in Nigeria's final group game against Uganda.

Alebiosu trained with the squad Thursday evening upon arrival from Fes and will continue building fitness during Friday night's session. The Super Eagles face Algeria on Saturday at the Grand Stade de Marrakech in a high-stakes knockout tie.

Nigeria's defensive options receive a timely boost with Alebiosu's return, providing Coach Finidi George with more flexibility against a dangerous Algerian attack. The team has maintained a disciplined media blackout ahead of the match, with players banned from giving interviews to minimize distractions.
