The coaching crew of the Super Eagles has called up Kenneth Omeruo and Olarenwaju Kayode to replace the injured duo of Ogenyi Onazi and Moses Simon.

Nigeria is putting finishing touches to preparations for their final 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Algeria and a friendly match against Argentina.

While Kayode was called for the time since the African Cup of Nations qualifier against South Africa, Omeruo was already on the standby list on the original squad announcement.

Omeruo last represented the Super Eagles in a 1-1 draw against Senegal in late March, and like Kayode, hadn’t been involved in a squad since the defeat by Bafana Bafana.

As of Monday, many of the squad had already reported to camp in Rabat to begin preparation for Friday’s game in Constantine.

Ahmed Musa, Wilfred Ndidi, Mikel Agu and goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa were the first four to arrive in camp on Sunday, along with the technical and backroom staff, and they were joined on Monday by 11 players including new call-up Kayode.
