World Cup 2014: Nigeria miss training in money row




The Nigeria squad at the World Cup have missed a scheduled training session in a row over money. 

The players are demanding the bonus payment promised to them for reaching the last 16 in the tournament.

They were due to train in Campinas on Thursday but missed their bus because they were in a meeting. Officials later confirmed training had been cancelled.

Nigeria are scheduled to play France in the knockout stages on Monday having finished as runners-up in Group F.

However, it is not clear whether they will travel to Brasilia on Friday as expected.

It is not the first time the Super Eagles have made a stance over money - last year they arrived late for the Confederations Cup in Brazil.
