Portugal-based Rabiu Ibrahim is expected to team up with Nigeria's Under-20 side, the Flying Eagles, in time for an invitational tournament in Egypt after he failed to make the team's training camp in Qatar due to visa problems.
"Rabiu will team up with the Under-20 squad on Friday in Egypt," disclosed the player's agent, Bertram Ekenwa.
"He had some complications with his passport, which expired this month and as a result he could not make the trip to Doha."
Nigeria have been invited by 2009 FIFA World Youth Championship hosts Egypt for a four-nation tournament as part of the build-up for the championship slated for September.
The Flying Eagles are drawn in a first round group that includes Spain, Venezuela and Tahiti.
