The first set of arrivals, Captain William Troost-Ekong, Amas Obasogie, Felix Agu, and Raphael Onyedika, checked into the team’s base at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel on Monday.

According to team media officer Promise Efoghe, nine more players joined the squad on Tuesday morning.

They include Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Ola Aina, and Bright Osayi-Samuel. Others on the list are Moses Simon, Chidozie Awaziem, Adebayo Adeleye, and Benjamin Fredericks.
