“Olisa Ndah is the first player to arrive at camp. Taiwo Awoniyi and John Noble have arrived at camp. Three players in camp,” it posted.

The Super Eagles opened their camp on Wednesday for the commencement of preparation for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.

It is expected that players based in the United Kingdom would report to camp on January 3.

The players are Alex Iwobi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi, Emmanuel Dennis, William Troost-Ekong, Frank Onyeka, Leon Balogun and Joe Aribo.

The team will depart for Garoua, Cameroon on January 6, six days before their opening group game against seven-time champions Egypt.

Nigeria has been drawn in Group B alongside Egypt, Sudan and Guinea-Bissau.
