Ike Uche also caught in club transfer decision will alongside Yobo join the team in the South African nation.
Nigeria will battle host Madagascar this Sunday in a must-win 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier.
In view of the importance of the match, coach of the team, Samson Siasia made yesterday deadline for all players to arrive the Transcorp Hilton Hotel camp of the Nigerian team.
But defender Yobo and forward Uche have been given a little more time to sort out their future before the transfer window closes today.
Yobo is negotiating a move away from Everton, while Uche could also be on his way out of Real Zaragoza.
“It’s their future and that is very important so if they cannot finish on time, they will be excused to join us in Madagascar,” Siasia said.
Yesterday morning, 12 of the 13 players in camp trained at the Abuja National Stadium.
Emmanuel Emenike, was excused for arriving just before the team departed to the stadium while striker Brown Ideye arrived at the hotel just as the squad got back from training.
Players in camp swelled 27 after the arrival of seven yesterday. Elderson Echiejile, Vincent Enyeama, and Gege Toriola from South Africa joined the team before their trip to Madagascar today.
Joel Obi of Inter Milan said the team is not thinking of losing and that the bad pitch story will not be an excuse to lose.
