Super Eagles’ Captain Ahmed Musa has arrived at the Super Eagles Abuja camp for the African Cup of Nations (AFCON), bringing the number of players in the team to 14.
This comes barely 24 hours after the Fatih Karagumruk attacker was reportedly being spotted in Kaduna for the NPFL game between his former club Kano Pillars and Enyimba International at the Ahmadu Bello Stadium on Sunday where he donated the sum of three million naira to the players and technical crew for their 2-0 win.
The UK-based players, it is also understood, are expected to hit the camp today if there are no hitches in their travel plans before the players and their officials are expected to leave for Garoua, Cameroon on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, NFF president, Amaju Pinnick, has assured Nigerians that the Super Eagles will be at their best at the tournament proper despite the ‘lacklustre’ preparations and concerns from Nigerians about the chances of the Super Eagles having a good outing at the competition, due to the recent change of coach and the absence of key players for different reasons.
Pinnick was a guest on the Morning Show on Arise TV to discuss the chances of the Super Eagles at the upcoming tournament.
“The preparation seems lacklustre but trust me, when it comes to the pitch and when they wear that green shirt and look at Nigerians, they’ll give their best.” Pinnick told Arise News.
