The Super Eagles camp opened in Uyo final Friday but as it were 22 players were in camp as of Wednesday evening, with Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye still anticipated to total the squad.
Atlanta’s Europa Alliance saint Ademola Lookman and Alex Iwobi moreover arrived at the team’s inn on Wednesday.
Five other players; Semi Ajayi, Shinning Osayi-Samuel, Calvin Bassey, midfielder straight to the point Onyeka, and forward Paul Onuachu landed in Uyo in a private flight on Tuesday after their proposed entry on Monday was botched by the across-the-nation strike set out upon by the Nigeria Work Congress, which injured flight operations.

Ndidi, who had arrived at camp final Friday nearby 15 other players, reflected on how the drained squad had fared.
“To be legitimate, it has influenced the arrangements since regularly we were gathered to begin preparing on Saturday and we have not been together. I think it has influenced the group in a few ways, like we’re gathered to know what we are doing and how to approach the amusement, but we haven’t been able to do that. But I think they as they come in as well, they will be incredible increases still and we’ll take it up from there,” Ndidi told NFF TV.

“The way we performed at the AFCON has really raised a few guidelines and the desire is tall. I think we have the same players and the same coach who was part of the group and we’ll do our best because we know these recreations are imperative.
“First of all, we got to center on South Africa, anything happens gives us certainty going into the moment one.”

At the 2023 AFCON, Nigeria beat the South Africans 4-2 on punishments within the semi-finals after 120 minutes of football finished 1-1, a result Ndidi feels will still be new within the minds of their adversaries.
“It makes it more troublesome since looking back to what we did at the AFCON it’s not progressing to be a straightforward amusement since, when they see back to the AFCON semi-finals, they will come for exact retribution and we are anticipating that.”
