The Black Galaxies have been handed a boost following the return of Gladson Awako ahead of their opening Group C match against Madagascar on Sunday.
The skipper had been sidelined since picking a minor injury in the friendly match against tournament hosts Algeria.
The Hearts of Oak midfielder missed the friendly against Mozambique which ended abruptly as a result and was having light training sessions as part of his recovery.
Awako was however back in training on Friday evening when the team held its first session at the Stade Chahid Hamlaoui Annex training grounds in Constantine.
The Black Galaxies will hold their final training session on Saturday evening ahead of Sunday’s Group stage opener against Madagascar.
The match will kick off at 8pm(7pm GMT) at the Stade Chahid Hamlaoui.
