Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the Super Eagles have started preparations for the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against the Republic of Benin and Lesotho.

Six players who joined up with the squad in Lagos on Sunday took part in a light recovery workout in the premises of the Eko Hotels & Suites located in Victoria Island on Monday morning.

They are captain Ahmed Musa, Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, Oghenekaro Etebo and Henry Onyekuru.

Based on their itinerary, manager Gernot Rohr is hoping to have roughly 80 percent of the invited players at his disposal later today, with thirteen more players expected to report for international duty before the close of business, which would bring the total to nineteen.

The ten foreign-based players being expected today are goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, Alex Iwobi, Tyronne Ebuehi, Victor Osimhen, Jamilu Collins, Chidozie Awaziem, Leon Balogun, Joe Aribo, Abdullahi Shehu and Paul Onuachu.

Enyimba duo John Noble and Anayo Iwuala, plus Abia Warriors defender Adeleke Adekunle complete the list of players expected to arrive in camp today.

Adekunla, a late replacement for Leganes' Kenneth Omeruo, started Abia Warriors' 3-1 win over Katsina United on Sunday, while Noble and Iwuala could be involved for Enyimba when they take on Sunshine Stars at the Agege Stadium in Lagos this afternoon.
