Spartak Trnava of Slovakia defender Izuchukwu Jude Anthony has been handed a late call up to the Super Eagles ahead of the friendly game against Cameroon on Friday.

Coach of the Nigerian team handed the 23 year old who made 14 appearances in the recently concluded season in Slovakian a chance following the withdrawal of key players which left the team short of options in defence.

His arrival which was announced by the official Twitter handle of the Super Eagles swelled the number of players in the camp to 21 as the duo of Paul Onuachu and Ahmed Musa also arrived camp the last 24 hours.

Uzochukwu is not entirely new to the Nigerian set up as he was a part of the U23 team that prosecuted the Africa U23 Cup of Nations where Nigeria crashed out at the group stage and missed out on a spot at the Olympics.
