The Super Eagles have flown to London where they are expected to take on England in a pre-World Cup friendly on Saturday.
Players and officials of the side had yesterday met with President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo.
It was gathered that Victor Moses will team up with the rest of the squad after taking an extended break due to a hectic season with the Premier League side Chelsea.
In addition, Moses Simon, from Belgian side Gent, was on the flight and will have a third scan to determine the extent of a hamstring injury he suffered in training.
The team’s head coach, Gernot Rohr, has dropped four players from his provisional 30-man squad: goalkeeper Dele Ajiboye, defenders Stephen Eze and Uche Agbo, and forward Junior Lokosa.
Rohr will whittle down the squad to 23 after the match with the Three Lions at Wembley.
