Jungbauer has been training with Dominican Republic U20s and was part of the final stage of preparation for the World Cup.
The 17-year-old central defender was a member of the Dominican Republic squad to the CONCACAF U-20 Championship in Honduras, where he featured in matches against El Salvador, Guatemala and United States.
Nigeria will take on the the Dominican Republic at the Estadio Malvinas Argentinas, Mendoza on Sunday, May 21, with kickoff scheduled for 1900 hours.
