Nigerian Federation tweeted the good news/confirmation on Sunday morning : ''@Aina2Ola is available for selection against Cameroon tomorrow after being cleared by FIFA. #SoarSuperEagles #CMRNGA''.

Aina, 20, has predominantly played in the right-back position but can also play at center back, left back and wing-back.

According to the statisticians at WhoScored.com,  the former England U19 skipper has made 12 interceptions and successfully completed 17 of his attempted 21 tackles so far this season.
