More players are expected on Tuesday as the full 23-man squad invited by interim head coach Augustine Eguavoen is tipped to be in camp.
Nigeria tops Group D with 10 points and needs only one point from two games to secure a spot in next year’s AFCON finals in Morocco.
The Super Eagles will lock horns against the Cheetahs of Benin, led by former coach Gernot Rohr, on Thursday, November 14, at the Stade Felix Houphouet Boigny, while they will return to the shores of the country to take on the Amavubi of Rwanda four days later at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo.
