More foreign-based professionals have arrived in Uyo for the African Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania on Saturday.

Watford striker Odion Ighalo, Monaco fullback Elderson Echiejile, Trabzonspor midfielder Eddy Onazi and FK Haugesund skipper William Troost-Ekong are the latest players to hit camp.

The statement by the Nigeria Football Federation also revealed that Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr alongside his assistants Everson Ferreira, Jean-Luc Royer, Nabil Trabelsi and Alloy Agu have also arrived in Uyo.

Most of the aforementioned players could not link up with the squad on Monday owing to the cancelled Arik Air flight from Lagos.

The Super Eagles will lock horns with Tanzania at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium this weekend.
