Ejike Uzoenyi is expected to join the Super Eagles on Wednesday (today) in Brazil for the 2014 World Cup.
This is coming after Uzoenyi has kept the technical crew waiting for over one week since getting the nod to join the team.
The Rangers International player, billed to play in South Africa next season, was expected to join the team in the USA but he did not do so.
It was learnt that the midfielder was having talks with Rangers on his exit to Memelodi Sundowns.
When the Nigerian team arrived Sao Paulo on Tuesday night, Uzoenyi was the only player missing from the final 23-man list.
The Super Eagles Media Officer, Ben Alaiya, confirmed that the player was yet to hit the Campinas camp base of the team in Brazil.
Alaiya said: “We expect him to join us later tonight.
“He was in touch with the officials and we expect him to resume training latest on Thursday.”
