Junior Ajayi, Mikel Agu Also In Camp; Super Eagles Hold Recovery SessionAl Ahly striker Junior Ajayi is in line to make his international debut against Serbia on Tuesday, having linked up with the national team at their get-together in London, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.

Bursaspor midfielder Mikel Agu, who has been handed a late call-up by the Nigerian Federation as replacement for captain Obi Mikel, was also sighted at the team hotel this evening.

It means manager Gernot Rohr has twenty seven players available for selection against Serbia, but Chippa United's Daniel Akpeyi is all but ruled out of the friendly due to a visa hitch.

The squad held a recovery session upon their arrival in the English capital.

The likes of Victor Moses, William Troost-Ekong, Wilfred Ndidi and Brian Idowu, who went the full ninety against Poland on Friday had a massage session, while the players that were not in action or made cameo appearances worked out in the gym.

The Super Eagles are expected to begin training on grass on Sunday.

On Friday, Nigeria recorded their second successive win against a top ten ranked nation after beating Poland 1-0 at the Municipal Stadium, courtesy of Victor Moses's game-winner on 61 minutes.
