Head coach Gareth Southgate had the full complement of his squad with the Nigerian side albeit Liverpool midfielder Adam Lallana who is on the Three Lions' standby list trained with the rest of the team on Friday.
"I've had continual dialogue with Adam throughout the season, close and personal conversations," Southgate revealed.
"It has been a frustrating season for him. Under normal circumstances he wouldn't be anywhere near the squad but he is a player we have a lot of time for."
The newspaper informed that Lallana's Liverpool teammates Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold will join the team on Saturday in time for the Nigeria game.
The players were given time off after their Champions League final exertions.
The English side trained in the grounds of the Grove hotel, with Southgate expected to be joined by Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard in a press conference scheduled for 1400 hours.
