Nineteen players are currently in the Super Eagles’ camp in Nizhny Novgorod ahead of Tuesday’s international friendly against Russia.

The team has been weakened by injuries and the unavailability of some players whose clubs prevented them from travelling for the encounter.

Captain Wilfred Ndidi and Victor Akpe are out of the game due to injuries, while Bright Osayi-Samuel, Raphael Onyedika and Ridwan Abdulrasaq Popoola were unable to join the squad after their respective clubs declined to release them.

Late invitee Ibraheem Ajasa of FC Rostov arrived at the team’s camp on Monday, bringing the number of players in camp to 19.

The Super Eagles are expected to hold their final training session tonight as they complete preparations for the friendly.

The match will be played at the Nizhny Novgorod Stadium and will kick off at 5pm Nigerian time.
