      The pharaohs of Egypt albatross, Chukwueze you are welcome to the fold. It is possible the remaining players are avoiding the prevalent covid-19 variants. They should be waiting for others in Cameroon. Good luck boys.

      Cameroon won the cup on Nigerian soil in AFCON 2000, now is Nigeria’s opportunity to revenge and win the cup on Cameroonian soil in AFCON 2021.
      God bless Nigeria!
