The Super Eagles squad for next month’s CHAN are scheduled to leave the country on January 2 for a training camp in South Africa.

A squad of 25 players have been training in Abuja for the CHAN with ailing Enugu Rangers defender Kalu Orji due to rejoin the camp after a short Christmas break.

Orji has been sidelined by chickenpox.

Nigeria will set up a training camp in Pretoria, South Africa, for the final phase of their build-up for the championship for players featuring in their home leagues.

They are scheduled to play two warm-up games against Cote d’Ivoire and Angola, who have both qualified for the CHAN in Rwanda.

Nigeria are drawn with Tunisia, Niger and Guinea in Group C of the 2016 CHAN and play their opening match on January 18 in Kigali.
