Omo, na serious matter wey dey happen for Super Eagles camp as dem don gather 26 players for Cairo, follow Chukwueze wey land last night. This one na big update wey Promise Efoghe, di media officer, confirm. Wetin remain now na just Osimhen and Simon wey never show face.

As e be, dem dey prepare full ground for Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) wey dey come, and the boys get better schedule wey dey include gym session for 11 a.m. and training on the pitch for 5 p.m. Na dem session go help dem recover from the 2-1 wahala wey dem face from Pharaohs of Egypt yesterday.

Di 26 players wey dey for camp now be: Francis Uzoho, Stanley Nwabali, Fisayo Dele-Bashiru, Akinsanmiro Ebenezer, Amas Obasogie, Semi Ajayi, Ademola Lookman, Bright Osayi-Samuel, Igho Ogbu, Tochukwu Nnadi, Zaidu Sanusi, Paul Onuachu, Frank Onyeka, Calvin Bassey, Alex Iwobi, Wilfred Ndidi, Bruno Onyemaechi, Cyril Dessers, Akor Adams, Chidera Ejuke, Raphael Onyedika, Ryan Alebiosu, Salim Fago, Chidozie Awaziem, Usman Mohammed, and of course, Samuel Chukwueze.

Di friendly wey dem play against Egypt don give di coach, Eric Chelle, plenty insight on how dem go fit adjust tactics and set dem for AFCON. E be like say na serious tuning dey happen as dem dey closer to di tournament.

Meanwhile, Sunderland dey shake as dem fit lose majority of dem Premier League players to di AFCON wahala. Seven of dem African boys don pack dem load ready to head go Morocco dis month. Fulham wey also dey waka dey see plenty goals and assists from dia African players but na so dem go miss Nigerian trio for di finals.

Omo, di AFCON deadline dey near and e go mean say clubs go release dia players for di one-month tournament. Players suppose report for North Africa by December 15, and di games go kick off six days later with Morocco facing Comoros. E get one wahala wey fit happen as Man Utd dey face Bournemouth dis evening, and dem fit beg make dem allow some players stay for di match.

Na serious business, as di final go hold for Rabat on January 18. Some clubs go face long Christmas and New Year without dia key players. Sunderland don gather plenty pressure as dem don dey depend on African players pass any other club. All seven boys wey dem sign for di summer dey set to go.

E no different for Arsenal, Chelsea, Leeds, and Newcastle dem never get any African player dis season, so dem no go feel di AFCON heat at all. But Sunderland dey risk as dem fit lose almost all di quality wey dey carry dem for di race.

Di fixtures wey dey come fit really shake di Premier League, as Aston Villa get di hardest road. Man Utd go get di smoothest, as dem dey face Wolves and Burnley, wey dey hold di bottom of di table. Sunderland fit get di worse as dem go face Man City, Brighton, and Crystal Palace.

Di matter wey dey front be say Man Utd dey look to extend di deadline for dia players – Noussair Mazraoui, Bryan Mbeumo, and Amad Diallo – to fit play dat game against Bournemouth. But so far, e no clear if dat one go happen.
