Jose Peseiro, the head coach has announced that forward Kelechi Iheanacho of Leicester City will be joining the Super Eagles squad on Saturday.
Iheanacho was absent from Nigeria’s pre-2023 Africa Cup of Nations training camp in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, due to his recuperating from a muscular issue.
The 27-year-old will now travel to Abidjan this weekend instead of joining the Super Eagles in Lagos on Tuesday as originally planned.
Peseiro also provided an update on OGC Nice forward, Terem Moffi.
Moffi entered the game late to replace Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen, who is out of the running due to a groin injury he suffered during training.

Moffi will reunite with his teammates in camp on Sunday, the Portuguese hinted.
Peseiro told NFF TV, “Moffi arrives January 14th because he will play on the 13th with the team.”
“We are in contact with the medical staff and the physiotherapist in Leicester City when Kelechi arrives on January 13th. We communicate with every member of our players’ staff.
