Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles of Nigeria will trade tackles with Costa Rica in an international friendly, scheduled for San Jose on November 10.

Coach of the Nigerian team, Jose Peseiro is yet to name his squad for the encounter, which is the first-ever international friendly between both countries.

It is believed the Eagles' camp opened in Ibadan on Monday with assistant coach Salisu Yusuf present, alongside 15 home-based players.
