It is again the club vs country row for the release of players for the AFCON and this could well adversely affect the Super Eagles warm-up game against Egypt in Cairo.
Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle raised the alarm when he met with the NFF technical committee in Abuja Monday.
FIFA have ordered that clubs are obliged to release players for the AFCON from December 8, but many overseas clubs are not willing to comply with this directive.
The Super Eagles will open their training camp for the AFCON on December 10 in Cairo, Egypt.
The Premier League clubs of Samuel Chukwueze, Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, Tolu Arokodare and Chrisantus Uche are expected to hold on to these players ahead of the AFCON.
There are already reports that French Ligue 1 side Paris FC will only release Moses Simon to the Super Eagles on December 14, same day of the Egypt friendly.
