Awoniyi was invited by Gernot Rohr for the FIFA World Cup qualifying double-header against Central African Republic.
The former Golden Eaglets, Flying Eagles and Dream Team striker was drafted to the squad as a replacement for Terem Moffi who pulled out of the game, due to injury.
Awoniyi arrived the camp on Tuesday and joined the team in gym sessions, before training with them for the first time on Wednesday.
Osimhen shared a short video of himself on Instagram page, welcoming the Bundesliga star to the squad.
He wrote: “Welcome to the Super Eagles brother”
Awoniyi, 24, has been in terrific form this season, netting 8 goals and 2 assists in 12 appearances for Union Berlin this season.
He will challenge Victor Osimhen and Paul Onuachu for a place in the starting eleven against the Central African Republic on Thursday.
