13 players have arrived at the Super Eagles camp in the United States ahead of the upcoming friendly matches against Mexico and Ecuador national teams.
Topping the list of arrivals is Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi who is making a return to the Super Eagles since his infamous red card at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.
The former Arsenal star was sent off in the Super Eagles’ African Cup of Nation (AFCON) Round of 16 clash against Tunisia which Nigeria eventually lost 1-0 to the Carthage Eagles.
The red card in Garoua saw Iwobi miss out on the crucial World Cup playoff duels against the Black Stars of Ghana in Kumasi and Abuja.
Fresh from helping Everton escape relegation from the Premier League, Iwobi will hope to hit the ground running under Super Eagles’ new manager Jose Peseiro who is also on the ground with his new assistants.
Aside from Iwobi, one of Nigeria’s top performers in Europe this season, Moses Simon has also arrived in the Super Eagles camp
