Super Eagles interim handler Augustine Eguavoen says more players will be called up to the team, preparatory to their two-legged Africa Nations Championship qualifying fixture against Ghana.
“This is not the final squad. There are some players we are still looking at. We have a pool of a lot of players. Next week, some will come back, and others will not. We will try to come up with a formidable team in the end,” he said.
The technical director of the Nigeria Football Federation made the disclosure hours after he expressed satisfaction with the quality the players displayed in their first set of training sessions before embarking on a short break on Thursday.
“Very impressive, only two training sessions, but you can see that technically they are very good,” Eguavoen said, per NFF TV.
“We still have a lot of work to do because they are coming from different clubs. We have to try to see how we can blend them into one unit.”
Eguavoen initially independently called up 35 players to the Abuja camp, and the team had their first training session on Wednesday.
Nigeria will trade tackles with Ghana in the first leg between 20th-22nd December 20 and 22, 2024, while the return leg will hold in Nigeria a week later.
The winner over two legs will automatically qualify for the 2025 CHAN, which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda.
