Alanyaspor loanee, Chidozie Awaziem finally rejoined the Super Eagles On Monday night after being away from the team's activities for over a week.

The former Leganse central defender was seen beaming with smiles on Monday night training held at the Roumde Adjia Annex as team officials and teammates welcomed the hard-tackling defender back to the rank.

The Boavista center-back was reported to have cropped up a knee injury but 234sportsng.com decent source revealed that Awaziem had tested positive to Covid-19 and had to be placed under quarantine by health officials.

Awaziem was expected to pair William Troost Ekong in the heart of the Super Eagles defense, but he struggled with fitness on arrival as Super Eagles trainers battled to help the young lad regain full fitness.

The dead rubber tie against Guinea Bissau is however coming too early for the defender who may be forced to watch from the bench as Kenneth Omeruo continues to churn in a good performance after forming an impregnable fortress with Ekong.

It remains to be seen how Awaziem intends to regain his shirt with coach Austin Eguavoen's age-long antecedent of retaining a winning team.
