Mikel was not listed by his troubled London club at the weekend, while Ighalo smashed his fifth goal in the EPL for Watford.
Eagles spokesman Toyin Ibitoye confirmed their arrival at the Eagles hotel in Belgium, adding that a majority of the call-ups will hit the camp on Monday.
“Mikel and Odion Ighalo are the first arrivals in Belgium for our matches against DRC and Cameroon,” disclosed Ibitoye.
“Most of the other players will be arriving Belgium today (Monday) based on their confirmation to the coach.”
However, the six players from the domestic league are yet to join up as they are yet to be issued visas by the Belgian embassy in Nigeria.
Nigeria take on DRC on Thursday, before they battle Cameroon on Sunday as part of their preparations for next month’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against either Swaziland or Djibouti.
