Musa’s arrival in camp was announced via the Super Eagles’ official Twitter handle on Wednesday. “Good morning from Austria, skipper, Ahmed Musa is in” the short message on the Eagles’ Twitter handle read.
With the arrival of Musa, the number of players in the Super Eagles camp has risen to 19, with only Belgium-based Paul Onuachu still being expected.
