The Super Eagles training camp in Benin City is bubbling with as many as 13 players now in ahead of Friday’s AFCON qualifier against Sierra Leone.
The roll call has Joe Aribo and Rangers teammate Leon Balogun, Zaidu Sanusi from FC Porto, goalkeepers Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Sebastian Osigwe and Maduka Okoye as well as Everton ace Alex Iwobi.
Others are skipper Ahmed Musa, Ola Aina, William Ekong, Oghenekaro Etebo, Kevin Akpoguma and Tyronne Ebuehi.
More players are expected today, officials assured.
The Eagles face Sierra Leone on Friday by 5pm local time without fans and the return in Freetown four days later.
Three players have thus far pulled out of the qualifiers due to injury – Moses Simon (FC Nantes), Frank Onyeka (FC Midtjylland) and Kenneth Omeruo (CD Leganes).
