Nigeria's Super Eagles camp has opened in Portugal ahead of international friendlies against Saudi Arabia and Mozambique.
The camp opened today, Tuesday, with players expected to arrive in preparation for the encounters.
The Eagles will play the Green Falcons of Saudi Arabia in the city of Portimão, Portugal on Friday, before facing the Mambas of Mozambique in the same city three days later.
The Jose Peseiro coached team go into the Saudi Arabia game with a winning streak of three games after qualifying for the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Peseiro had earlier named a 25-man squad for the encounter, recalling defenders Kenneth Omeruo and Bright Osayi-Samuel, as well as midfielder Alex Iwobi and forward Terem Moffi.
But he later handed late call-ups to the trio Sadiq Umar, Chidozie Awaziem and Tyronne Ebuehi.
The late invitation was largely due to injuries to Taiwo Awoniyi, Jamilu Collins and Ola Aina.
