• Team now complete, intensifies preparation for Rwanda clash

 

The Super Eagles camp is now at full strength as all 23 invited players have arrived in Uyo ahead of Nigeria’s crucial 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against the Amavubi of Rwanda on Saturday, Bold Sports reports.

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman and newly signed Panathinaikos striker Cyriel Dessers, who completed a move from Scottish side Rangers, joined the camp on Wednesday morning, increasing the squad to 18 players.

Later in the day, Samuel Chukwueze, Chrisantus Uche, and Tolu Arokodare — three players who secured moves to Premier League clubs on deadline day — linked up with the team alongside Galatasaray star Victor Osimhen and Club Brugge midfielder Raphael Onyedika to complete the squad.

The early arrivals had their first training session on Tuesday evening at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, but with the new arrivals, head coach Eric Chelle will now have a full squad to train with during this evening’s session.
