The Nigeria national team camp is beginning to bubble ahead of October’s 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification matches against the Central African Republic.
The Super Eagles continue their quest for a ticket to Qatar against the Wild Beasts on October 7 before squaring up against them on their home ground three days later.
Kaizer Chiefs’ Daniel Akpeyi, CSKA Moscow’s Chidera Ejuke as well as Alanyaspor FC’s Chidozie Awaziem are the early birds at the plush Eko Hotel and Suites, Victoria Island – where the three-time African champions are camped.
As at the time of press, more players were being expected in camp, as Gernot Rohr’s squad starts preparations for the fixtures today.
Following victories over Liberia and Cape Verde, Nigeria lead Group C with six points and they would be hoping to continue with their perfect start against Raoul Savoy’s men.
Unfortunately, Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi and Watford star Peter Etebo will play no part due to injury setbacks.
Victory in both games will take Nigeria a step closer to the all-important knockout rounds that will produce Africa’s five flag bearers for Qatar.
In the other Group C pairing, Liberia – who are second in the group – take on Bubista’s Cape Verde.
