But the Nigeria squad was boosted with the arrival of Chelsea star John Mikel Obi, who trained with the rest of the team.

NFF Acting Chief Media Officer Robinson Okosun explained that Etuhu picked up the injury in Fulham's last Premier League match.

“Etuhu informed us about the injury, but we asked him to report here so our doctors could ascertain the severity of the injury.

"They confirmed the situation, but he will remain to support his team mates on Sunday.”

With Mikel's arrival, captain Joseph Yobo is the only player still being expected in camp.

The defender was given permission to finalise his move to Turkish giants Fenerbahce.

Yobo will join the team on Thursday morning.

Are we watching the end Joseph Yobo's career? Please visit "youtube" and search: "joseph yobo and istanbul." Tell me what you think of the reception he received from the fans. then compare that reception to the reception mamadou niang received when the same team signed him a few weeks back. i just hope yobo did not rush into this loan deal without weighing his options. in 2007, emre, a turkish player was fined by the english fa for using racist language on yobo. the same guy is in the team yobo has just been loaned to, fernebache. and yobo was asked on youtube about that incident. i wonder if he considered his options before agreeing to this deal. i do not think, based on what i saw on youtube, yobo will be welcomed at fernebache. if he ends up on the bench again, that will be the close of the window to his career. age-wise, he is still young at 29, but let's hope he succeeds in turkey. i wish all the best, joe.
