The Super Eagles are gearing up for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations with promising updates from head coach Jose Peseiro. Leicester City forward, Kelechi Iheanacho, recovering from a muscular problem, is set to join Nigeria’s squad on Saturday. This represents a shift from the initial plan for Iheanacho to link up with the team in Lagos, as he will now head to Abidjan over the weekend.
In addition, OGC Nice forward Terem Moffi, a late replacement for the injured Victor Boniface, is expected to join the squad on Sunday. Moffi’s arrival comes after Peseiro revealed that the player would be in action with his team on January 13th before making his way to the Super Eagles’ camp the next day.
Peseiro’s coordination with the medical staff of the players, including regular contact with Leicester City’s physiotherapist, reflects thorough preparation and attention to the well-being of the team.
These developments further add to the anticipation and excitement surrounding Nigeria’s campaign in the upcoming AFCON 2023, as the team receives integral reinforcements before the highly-anticipated tournament.
