However, the final decision on his availability will be taken by coach Jose Peseiro, SCORENigeria specially learnt.
The goalkeeper told several top team officials he will feature against Angola.
The scan result done Monday morning was equally encouraging.
The Chippa United shot stopper trained with the goalkeeper trainer today to give further credence he is good to go against Angola.
He was no longer limping as he was taken through the routine goalkeeping drills.
Sources close to Nwabali also told SCORENigeria: “He’s good to go for Friday.”
