Super Eagles stars Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi have arrived at the team’s camp in Uyo in preparation for Friday’s 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifier against South Africa.
Their presence boosts the squad to 22 players, with only Maduka Okoye, the goalkeeper from Udinese in Italy, remaining to be expected.
Five players, previously stranded in various parts of the country due to the now-suspended nationwide strike, reunited with the initial 15 in camp on Tuesday.
The Super Eagles who are three-time African champions, but failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, are determined to secure all three points against South Africa on Friday to enhance their chances for the single ticket from Group C as the campaign unfolds.
Rwanda unexpectedly leads the group after two matchdays, accumulating four points, with South Africa following closely with three points and Nigeria trailing with two.
