Aribo is expected to link up with his Super Eagles teammates at their Abu Dhabi camp on January 1 as they kick-start preparations for Cote dIvoire 2023.

We cant stop anyone. You want them to go there fit and come back fit. Joe needs to keep playing, now he has been playing and Im sure he will get into their squad,Martin told Daily Echo.

He has been a mainstay in their squad for quite a while. They go with everyones best wishes, as you want them to do well.

The 37-year-old revealed he has requested Aribo to bring his AFCON jersey for his son.

Hopefully they stay injury-free, thats the biggest thing. Joe is incredibly proud to play for Nigeria. Every time he goes away a different member of staff asks him to bring one of his shirts back,added the Englishman.

Ive asked him for his AFCON shirt for my son so he needs to get into the squad so he can bring a shirt back for him.
