Ahead of the twin friendly against Mali and Luxemburg slated for this week, the Super Eagles coaching crew, one player and backroom staff are expected to depart for Paris, France on Tuesday.
While Coach Salisu Yusuf and Alloy Agu have secured their visas, others like Imama Amakpakabo, Kennedy Boboye, team doctor, media officer and others are expected to be issued their visas on Monday to enable them travel with others.
The foreign legion are expected to join up with the rest of the team.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to wade in to ensure the issuance of visas to the other crew members.
Yusuf is expected to take full charge of the team for the encounter organized to prepare the Eagles for the Eagles 2018 World Cup qualifiers.
Aaron Samuel and Victor Moses are ruled out of the encounters due to injury sustained while playing for their clubs in Europe.
