Foreign-based Super Eagles players are beginning to arrive at the team’s camp ahead of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying match against Egypt.

The match first leg is scheduled to take place in Kaduna on Friday will be followed by the second leg in Alexandria, Egypt, four days later.

Spokesperson for the team Toyin Ibitoye told reporters in Lagos, the country’s economic hub that midfielder, Mikel Obi arrived Monday morning to raise the number of foreign players in camp to four.

The other players are Aminu Umar, Shehu Abdullahi and Alex Iwobi who arrived on Sunday.

Iwobi had scored a goal for Arsenal in the team’s 2-0 win over Everton in English Premier League on Saturday.

Ibitoye said goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa and forward Oghenekaro Etebo were the only home-based players in camp out of the six left in coach Samson Siasia’s list.

He said full training in preparation for the encounter would commence this morning, at the National Stadium, Abuja.

Nineteen other invited foreign-based players were expected to come in later yesterday.
