Red-hot striker, Paul Onuachu, and seven other players are the early birds at Super Eagles’ camp in Lagos.
They came in early ahead of the doubleheader World Cup qualifying tie against Central African Republic.
Other players in camp as at Monday night were Jamilu Collins, Kelvin Akpoguma, Chidera Ejuke, Chidozie Awaziem, Daniel Akpeyi, Taiwo Awoniyi and Samuel Kalu.
Camp sources hinted that that most of the call-ups would report on Tuesday ahead of the team’s first training.
The Eagles will already be without Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo, Alex Iwobi, Terem Moffi and Henry Onyekuru, who was handed a late invitation, but will not be available due to injury.
Nigeria tackle CAR on Thursday at the Teslim Balogun Stadium in Lagos with the reverse tie in Douala, Cameroon on Sunday.
The Eagles lead Group C with six points from two matches, while CAR are third on a point.
Liberia are second with three points and Cape Verde bottom on a point.
