Leicester City forward Ademola Lookman today joined the Super Eagles training camp in Abuja ahead of Friday’s showdown against Ghana in Kumasi.
Lookman’s arrival was delayed so that he could ascertain the severity of an injury he suffered in action for his Premier League club.
He has yet to be capped by Nigeria after he previously represented England where he was born to Nigerian parents.
Spain-based striker Sadiq Umar and late replacement John Noble from Enyimba are now the only call-ups still being expected in camp.
