Right-back Calila has recovered from a muscle injury, and is available for selection.
Despite having developed flu-like symptoms in recent days, Guima, Witi, and Gildo are also now in perfect condition to face the Super Eagles.
The Mambas will be up against the Super Eagles at the Complexe Sportif de Fès tonight.
The game will kick-off at 8pm Nigeria time.
