The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Gernot Rohr has submitted the list of players who will defend the colours of Nigeria in their next Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
Nigeria will take on Sierra Leone in back to back games next month seeking a win to seal progress to the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations after winning their first two games.
Owngoalnigeria.com exclusively gathered that the coach has handed a return to five players of the team who were missing from the last squad for the friendly games against Algeria and Tunisia respectively.
First choice goalkeeper Francis Uzoho who celebrated his return from a long injury lay off with a clean sheet for Apoel Nicosia in a 4-0 cup win over PAEEK is back in the team.
Daniel Akpeyi also returns after missing out on selection for the last game but the duo are going to be up against newly crowned first choice Maduka Okoye for the position of number one.
Okoye posted a five star performance yesterday in the KNVB Cup despite his team losing 5-3 on penalties to ADO Den Haag to crash out of the cup.
Joe Aribo, Oghenekaro Etebo and Victor Osimhen complete the list of players who were handed a recall by Rohr for the next month games.
