A total of 22 players are presently in the camp of the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of the high profile friendly game against Portugal on the 10th of June, OwnGoalNigeria.com reports.
Fresh from the 2-2 draw against Poland yesterday, the team arrived Leira yesterday in batches, and two new players in Alex Iwobi and newly invited Christian Akpan joined the camp, while Rafiu Durosinmi was excused due to personal reasons.
Earlier the today, the number in camp swelled to 22 with the arrival of Samuel Chukwueze who missed the game against Poland due to his mother’s burial rites, which happened four days ago.
He is now expected to be involved in their first training session later today, with head coach Eric Chelle expected to run the rule ahead of the game, which he said is much more than a friendly game.
