Nigeria have settled down in Garoua ahead of next Tuesdays AFCON 2021 Group D showdown against Egypt.

The three-time AFCON champions landed in Garoua on a chartered flight from Abuja on Thursday.

According to the Nigeria Football Federation, The Super Eagles held their first training session on Thursday evening at Stade Roumde Adjia where the January 11 clash against Egypt will be played.

But the 25-member team is without defenders Tyrone Ebuehi of Venezia FC in Italy and Jamilu Collins of Paderborn in Germany who are expected to join camp shortly.

Ebuehi is a late change for the injured Abdullahi Shehu of Cypriot club Omonia Nicosia.
