Nigerian defender Kenneth Omeruo may be a huge doubt for the Super Eagles opener against Iran at the 2014 FIFA World Cup tournament,as he failed to train with the team during their last training session on Monday evening in Florida,USA.

The Super Eagles team departed for Brazil this morning and are expected São Paulo later today to continue preparations for the World Cup.

According to KickOffNigeria.com Omeruo,was said to have been injured in a training ground tackle with Victor Moses,and had a light session with the team's physiotherapist, walking round the field.

The Chelsea player sat out Nigeria's last warm-up game against the United States of America on Saturday,which they lost 2-1.

Meanwhile the Eagles team got a boost as Ahmed Musa, who had knee injury against Greece, came through his third full training session unscathed, and is ready to play a part in the opening game against Iran on June 16.

The squad is not expected to have a training session today as they will arrive in São Paulo in the night,but they will continue training tomorrow.
