AFCON 2023: Peseiro reveals when Iheanacho, Moffi will arrive Super Eagles camp
Jose Peseiro, the head coach, revealed that striker Kelechi Iheanacho of Leicester City would be joining the Super Eagles team on Saturday.
Iheanacho was absent from Nigeria’s pre-2023 Africa Cup of Nations training camp in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, due to his recuperating from a muscle issue.
The 27-year-old will now go to Abidjan this weekend instead of joining the Super Eagles in Lagos on Tuesday, as originally planned.
Peseiro also gave an update on Terem Moffi, the forward for OGC Nice.
Moffi entered the game late to replace Victor Boniface of Bayer Leverkusen, who is out of the running due to a groin injury he suffered during training.
Moffi will reunite with his colleagues at camp on Sunday, the Portuguese said.
“Moffi arrives January 14th because he will play on 13th with the team,” Peseiro told NFF TV.
“Kelechi arrives (January) 13th, we are in contact with the (Leicester City’s) physiotherapist, with the medical staff. We have contact with all the staff of our players. “
