Lawal Boosts Eagles Squad

Turkey-based midfielder,
Raheem Lawal has swollen to six the number of foreign-based pros who have reported at the Nigerian training camp in Abuja ahead of AFCON qualifiers against Congo and South Africa.
Lawal joined the squad Monday evening.
Comebacking Villarreal striker, Ike Uche, joined the Eagles training camp in Abuja on Tuesday just as several Europe-based stars have already reported.
Uche is staging a much-talked about comeback to the African champions after he last played for them in February 2013 against Burkina Faso.
He has been at daggers drawn with Coach Stephen Keshi who has finally bowed to pressure from the fans and media to recall the nippy forward for two crucial AFCON qualifiers against Congo and South Africa beginning on Saturday.
However officials of the team said they expect almost a full house by Wednesday morning as several players have already arrived the country’s commercial capital city of Lagos.
“Several of the players are in Lagos. Emmanuel Emenike, Efe Ambrose and Raheem Lawal are in Lagos already,” noted a top official.
“Mikel is expected to come in tomorrow (Wednesday) alongside Ike Uche. But I am sure we will have a full house before tomorrow evening training session.”
