AFCON Qualifiers: Aribo, Ekong, Ebuehi arrive Super Eagles camp

Aribo, Ekong, Ebuehi have joined the platter of Super Eagles talent at the country's camp in Benin as the country prepares for its AFCON qualifiers.

They follow the arrival of Maduka Okoye, Ahmed Musa, Oghenekaro Etebo, Kelechi Ihenacho and Paul Onuachu who joined earlier.

The former Charlton star, who scored a brace in Rangers win on Sunday, missed Nigeria’s games against Algeria and Tunisia last month due to injury.

Aribo only made his debut for Nigeria last year, but he has gone on to become one of the key players in Gernot Rohr’s squad.

Also in camp is Aribo’s teammate at the Ibrox stadium, Leon Balogun. The 32-year-old featured in the two friendly games last month and will hope to give another decent performance in the doubleheader against Sierra Leone, Soccernet.ng said.

New invitee, Sebastian Osigwe, is also in camp after testing negative to the Covid-19, which had initially put his participation in doubt. Kevin Akpoguma, William Troost Ekong, Zaidu Sanusi, Ola Aina and Alex Iwobi are the other players in camp.

Nigeria takes on Sierra Leone in back to back matches with the Super Eagles hosting the first leg on Friday before the return leg next Tuesday.
