Premier League stars Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi have been among the players to already hit the Super Eagles training camp ahead of Friday’s 2020 World Cup qualifier against Liberia in Lagos.
Everton forward Alex Iwobi is the other player from the Premier League in the camp, while South Africa-based goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi and Abia Warriors Adekunle Adeleke, a late call-up, have also reported.
Officials assured the bulk of the 30-man squad will be in camp later today.
It is expected that coach Gernot Rohr will line up his strongest team for Friday’s clash against Liberia at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos after which the players from the Premier League will return to their base as they will not feature in the second qualifier in Cape Verde on September 7 as it is on the UK Red List of the Coronavirus protocol.
The players in England would have to quarantine for at least 10 days on return to their base should they visit Cape Verde.
