At least three players in the Super Eagles squad have escaped being suspended for the Africa Cup of Nations final against Ivory Coast.
They are Moses Simon, Ola Aina and Calvin Bassey.
The trio, who was one booking away from missing the final should Nigeria beat South Africa, survived as they were not booked and will be available for Sunday’s final.
Bassey and Aina have, especially been in impressive forms for Nigeria at the tournament.
There was also a big injury boost for Jose Peseiro, as Zaidu Sanusi took part in light training on Thursday.
