'Dangerous Iheanacho', Ndidi to arrive Eagles camp today

Leicester City striker Kelechi Iheanacho and his compatriot, Wilfred Ndidi will join the list of invited players for AFCON qualifiers at Eko Hotel and suites in Lagos on Monday, according to a source from London. 

Iheanacho scored twice and provided an assist as Leicester City secured a 3-1 victory over Manchester United in Sunday’s FA Cup quarter-

final game, to become one of only two players - along with Sergio Aguero - to score 20+ goals in England's cup competitions over the last six years.

The forward has been in terrific form recently and against the Red Devils, he continued the eye-catching displays to help the Foxes stun Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.

Ahmed Musa, Ola Aina, William Ekong, Henry Onyekuru, Semi Ajayi, Oghenekaro Etebo and Shehu Abdullahi were the first set of players to hit camp.

Onuachu’s arrival is a big surprise as several Belgian clubs have stopped their players from international duty on account of concerns over the Coronavirus Pandemic.

The number of players in camp is expected to double before tomorrow’s first training.

The team are due to depart for Benin Republic Thursday.

The match will be played on Saturday in Porto-Novo with the home team needing a win to qualify for the AFCON, while a point will qualify group leaders Nigeria.
