More players are expected to arrive at the team’s camp on Monday as they look to begin preparations for the qualifiers.

The Super Eagles are currently top of Group L where all the teams, which include Benin, Sierra Leone and Lesotho, can still qualify for January’s finals in Cameroon following Nigeria’s shock result against the Leone Stars in the last round of qualifying last November.

The Super Eagles have eight points, one ahead of the squirrels of Benin while the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone have three points and Lesotho two.
