Twenty-one players have now joined the camp, with captain William Troost-Ekong and vice-captain Alex Iwobi leading the charge under coach Eric Chelle.
The Super Eagles held their first full training session on Monday, showing strong focus and unity ahead of the must-win encounter.
Key squad members, including Wilfred Ndidi, Calvin Bassey, Ademola Lookman, and goalkeeper Stanley Nwabali, have all reported for duty.
With the playoffs being a single-elimination match, Nigeria’s hopes of reaching the 2026 FIFA World Cup rest entirely on securing victory against the Panthers.
