Chelsea and Liverpool products, 21 others report for international duty pre-Sao Tome and Príncipe

Chelsea Academy graduate Ola Aina, Liverpool-reared striker Taiwo Awoniyi and the other 21 players invited for the Super Eagles' final 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying game against São Tomé and Príncipe have reported to camp.

Aina has not been called up to the squad since he featured in the 2-1 loss to Algeria in an international friendly last year.

However, he has made two appearances in the qualifying campaign as he featured in the first leg against São Tomé and Príncipe and Sierra Leone.

It is a back-to-back invitation for Awoniyi who was also in the squad in the game against the Leone Stars.

The duo are joined by Francis Uzoho, Olorunleke Ojo, Adebayo Adeleye, Tyronne Ebuehi, Jordan Torunarigha, William Ekong, Semi Ajayi, Calvin Bassey, Jamilu Collins, Bruno Onyemaechi, Wilfred Ndidi, Raphael Onyedika, Joe Aribo and Frank Onyeka.

Completing the players in camp are Kelechi Iheanacho, Samuel Chukwueze, Moses Simon, Ademola Lookman, Victor Osimhen, Gift Orban and Victor Boniface.

Nigeria have booked their place in the next edition of the Africa Cup of Nations that will be staged next year in Ivory Coast with a game to spare

However, they will have to avoid a defeat against  São Tomé and Príncipe to finish top of their qualifying group ahead of Sierra Leone.

The game is set to go down at Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Sunday.
