A total of 22 players took part in the session, with key stars including Alex Iwobi, Samuel Chukwueze and Christian Akpan are the latest players that joined the squad ahead of the encounter.

The friendly against Portugal is expected to provide another valuable test for the Super Eagles as the coaching crew continues to assess the squad and build momentum ahead of future international assignments.
