\nOmonia Nicosia goalkeeper Francis Uzoho, Raal Sociedad forward Umar Sadiq, and Royal Antwerp midfielder Alhassan Yusuf have reported to the Super Eagles Africa Cup of Nations camp based in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates\u00a0<\/p>\n
\nUzoho’s arrival was delayed due to the\u00a0injury crisis in the goalkeeping department of the Omonia Nicosia which led to the Cyprus-based club reaching an agreement with the Nigeria Football Federation to make him report later than expected.<\/p>\n
\nThe 25-year-old’s place in the starting XI is under threat and he will have to slug it out with Stanley Nwabili and Olorunleke Ojo for the first-choice goalkeeper position.<\/p>\n
\nWhile he is the most experienced of the shot-stoppers, it is uncertain whether Jos\u00e9 Peseiro will retain him in his preferred XI.<\/p>\n
\nSadiq made his debut in the competition in the last edition where he got a goal in the Super Eagles’ 2-0 win over Guinea-Bissau in the group stage.<\/p>\n
\nIt remains how much time he will be afforded considering the stiff competition in the attacking department of the team.<\/p>\n
\u00a0<\/p>\n
Yusuf on the other hand\u00a0 has been invited to replace Wilfred Ndidi who has been ruled out of the tournament due to injury.<\/p>\n
\nThe central midfielder is one of the players yet to feature at the Africa Cup of Nations and will be hoping he has time to break into the team.<\/p>\n
\nUzoho, Sadiq, and Yusuf take the number of players in camp to 23 with Victor Osimhen and William Troost-Ekong expected to arrive this morning and at midnight respectively.<\/p>\n
\nThe first training session for today will take place at 1830 hours (UAE time) while the second is scheduled for 1830 hours\u00a0(UAE time) but there won’t be any media coverage for the two sessions.<\/p>\n
