Super Eagles captain, Ahmed Musa, has left the team’s camp for the Unity Cup in London due to personal reasons.
Musa only returned to the national team for the first time since the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations last year.
After the AFCON, the winger stopped playing for Sivasspor and his lack of fitness meant he did not play for Nigeria.
Musa eventually signed for Kano Pillars in the Nigeria Premier Football League, NPFL, last October, and he has been a regular for them since then.

He scored 10 goals and provided two assists in 23 appearance for the former NPFL champions.
Eagles new head coach then invited him for the tournament in the UK, where he played in the 2-1 win over Ghana on Wednesday.
Musa came off the bench in the 62nd minute and put up a decent showing.
Following the victory over the Black Stars, Nigeria will play Jamaica in the final of the Unity Cup next, but the former CSKA Moscow star will be unavailable for the game.
