Fulham defender Calvin Bassey teamed up with the Super Eagles in Warsaw on Tuesday, taking the number of players in camp ahead of Wednesday’s international friendly to 20, PUNCH Sports Extra reports.
Bassey’s arrival also gives coach Eric Chelle more options in defence as he welcomed the energetic defender into camp.
Germany-based Philip Otele, who shone at the Unity Cup in London, was expected to arrive in camp on Tuesday night.
Chelle can now pick and choose his rearguard, with the Fulham defender able to partner the motivated Semi Ajayi in central defence, while Igoh Ogbu and Emmanuel Fernandez are also available.
“Now, we have a team and we are preparing to go out there and win. Winning is the mentality that we are trying to create in the team, in the players. We will go for a win on Wednesday,” said Chelle.
