Keshi says although the players have kept him abreast of their whereabouts, he has made it clear that London is the muster point.

"We are only travelling to London with the home-based players and the back room staff.

“The foreign-based players would meet us in London, any one of them that comes back home, he would also return to London after attending to some of their family issues that brought them here in Nigeria.”

Nigeria play Scotland on May 28 in the first of three build up matches before their opening World Cup game against Iran on June 16.
