Players of the senior national team of Nigeria have started separating the country for their respective bases after the reception held in their honour by the president of the federal republic of Nigeria Bola Ahmed Tinubu, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
The players were all given 48 hours by their clubs to report back to base with many expected to go straight into the lineup for the games that will be played at the weekend.
One player who has been told he has to be in France in order to be ready for the game this weekend is Nice forward Terem Moffi, with his team keen on having him available for the game this weekend against Lyon.
Nice are keen on holding on to their 2nd spot in Ligue 1 with 3rd placed Monaco just one point behind them. Moffi is seen as a key player for the team after scoring six goals with two assists as well in the 17 league games he has played this season.
24 year old Moffi flew out yesterday night in a private jet reportedly belonging to the president of the club. The rest of his teammates are expected to leave later today.
