Three more players have joined the Super Eagles in Abidjan, bringing the total number of players in camp to eleven, two days before the national team take on Benin's Cheetahs in a 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Felix Houphouet Boigny Stadium, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

Leicester City midfielder Wilfred Ndidi, Sevilla striker Kelechi Iheanacho and Udinese goalkeeper Maduka Okoye are set to be involved in the Super Eagles first training session on Tuesday, having reported for international duty.

Gabriel Osho , Frank Onyeka, Raphael Onyedika, Amas Obasogie, Moses Simon, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Samuel Chukwueze and Bruno Onyemaechi were the first group of players to join the national team camp on Monday, November 11.

While Ndidi and Okoye started for their respective clubs on Sunday, Iheanacho was in action for Sevilla last Saturday, playing for 73 minutes in a 1-0 loss at CD Leganes.

Okoye and Iheanacho have not been given minutes for the past four games played in Afcon qualifying, whereas Ndidi has started every single game and was among the players stranded in Libya for approximately seventeen hours before the cancelled matchday four fixture against the Mediterranean Knights.

Nigeria's interim boss Augustine Eguavoen and his assistants are waiting to welcome twelve invited players, namely Stanley Nwabali, William Troost-Ekong, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Victor Collins, Calvin Bassey, Ola Aina, Alhassan Yusuf, Alex Iwobi, Umar Sadiq, Ademola Lookman, Victor Boniface and Victor Osimhen.

The Super Eagles need one point from their remaining two games to be assured of qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
