Super Eagles
Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi and defender Christian Akpan have joined Nigeria’s training camp in Lisbon as preparations continue for the international friendly against Portugal.
Iwobi linked up with his teammates on Thursday after missing Nigeria’s recent friendly against Poland, boosting the squad ahead of the encounter with the Portuguese side.
Akpan, who plays for KRC Genk, received his maiden Super Eagles invitation following the withdrawal of several players from the squad. The defender, who remains relatively unknown among many Nigerian football followers, will be hoping to make his senior international debut against Portugal.
