Iwobi and his childhood pal, Aina had to withdraw from the Super Eagles team that thrashed Seychelles last month on account of injuries and the latter is in line to make his full competitive debut for the national team this weekend after a string of fine performances for Torino in recent matches.
English-based trio Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo will join the team later today, all things being equal.
