The NFF has ordered the 24 players invited for the upcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Seychelles to report to camp in Victoria on Monday, September 3.
However, It is impossible to see the whole squad report to camp that same day due to clubs commitments in Europe.
Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi is expected to be named in the traveling party to Cardiff on September 2, while Odion Ighalo’s Changchun Yatai face Henan Jianye same day.
Meanwhile, Torino’s Ola Aina, Chievo’s Joel Obi, Crotone’s Simy Nwankwo and Udinese’s Troost-Ekong will also be in action for their respective Italian clubs on Sunday, and the same applies to Samuel Kalu (Bordeaux), John Ogu (Hapoel Beer Sheva) and Chidozie Awaziem (Porto).
The Gernot Rohr-led Super Eagles players will face Seychelles in an AFCON 2019 qualifier.
Hence, the squad will travel to Saudi Arabia from Seychelles for the proposed international friendly against Saudi Arabia which is scheduled to hold in Jeddah.
