Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa and striker, Paul Onuachu have arrived the Super Eagles’ camp in Austria.
The duo arrived just in time, to beat the Tuesday’s deadline for the arrival of players ahead of the international friendly with Algeria.
The Team Media Officer, Toyin Ibitoye, confirmed this to NAN.
Ibitoye said both players were the last to arrive, with all invited players now available to head coach, Gernot Rohr, ahead of the game on Friday, October 9.
Onuachu was called up as a late replacement for Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, who pleaded to be excused from the two matches due to COVID-19 protocols.
“Musa and Onuachu were the last to arrive in the camp, but they participated in Tuesday’s evening training,” Ibitoye said.
The players will train twice every day ahead of the match.
