Published: November 16, 2020

The Nigeria National Team have arrived in Freetown ahead of Tuesday's Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Sierra Leone, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

Upon their arrival in the Sierra Leone capital, a ferry took the players and officials to the City Center.

Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is not part of the group as he has flown to Italy after dislocating his shoulder during the second half of the 4-4 draw against the Leone Stars last Friday.

Gernot Rohr's team had a recovery session on Saturday and also trained at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium the following day.

West Brom central defender Semi Ajayi is walking a disciplinary tightrope in tomorrow's clash just as was the case in the matchday three fixture in Benin City.

The former Arsenal U23 captain picked up a booking against Lesotho, so if he's yellow-carded against Sierra Leone, he will be suspended for the next match.

Nigeria top Group L of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers and would qualify for the tournament in Cameroon if they beat the Leone Stars and Lesotho drop points at home to Benin.
