Omeruo and Kalu lead early arrivals in Nigeria camp ahead of Afcon qualifiers

Leganes defender Kenneth Omeruo and Bordeaux winger Samuel Kalu have arrived at the Nigeria camp ahead of their Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against the Republic of Benin and Lesotho.

Both players arrived on Sunday and checked into their hotel rooms, according to a statement from the team’s Twitter handle.

Omeruo missed the Super Eagles' international friendly against Brazil last month owing to injury.

The West Africans will kick off their quest to secure a place in the 2021 biennial tournament when they host the Squirrels at Godswill Akpabio Stadium on Wednesday.   

The three-time African champions will then travel to Setsoto Stadium to slug it out with the Crocodiles for their second game in Group L on Sunday.

Gernot Rohr has named a strong 23-man squad for the encounters as they hope to kick off their campaign on a high.
