The Premier League will conclude this season on Sunday, May 13, a day after the final round in the Bundesliga, while the Portuguese Primeira Liga and Turkish Super Lig finishes on May 13 and 19 respectively, so most of the key players in the Nigeria squad have no excuse not to report to camp early.
Including the friendly against Argentina on November 14, the Super Eagles would have played six warmup matches before stepping out onto the Kaliningrad Stadium turf to face Croatia in their first game in the mundial.
Nigeria will also trade tackles with Argentina and Iceland at the 2018 World Cup.
