Therefore, the 19 - year - old will train with the squad for the first time on Tuesday evening at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium, venue of the clash against the Cranes.
A product of famous grassroots team, Golden Boot Soccer Academy, Simon has been handed his maiden call - up by the national team handlers after impressing in the Belgian Pro League.
If the teenager makes his senior debut against the East Africans, he would become the first player from the Flying Eagles class of 2013 to star for the Super Eagles.
