Italy Based Defender Back In Super Eagles Squad For AFCON Qualifiers After Picking Up Three Assists In Two Games

As the date for the announcement of the squad of the senior national team for the final two games of the AFCON qualifiers draws near, players who are in the list of invited players have been contacted by head coach of the team Jose Peseiro, OGN can exclusively reveal.

Yesterday, we broke the news about the inclusion of Belgium based forward Gift Orban, who has been handed his first call up after hitting 19 goals in 19 games since his move from Norwegian second division side Stabæk to Gent of Belgium.

We can also exclusively report that Tyronne Ebuehi has been handed a recall to the team with doubts surrounding the availability of Bright Osayi-Samuel, who has nailed the right back slot of the team for the past three games.

Osayi-Samuel is an injury doubt for the game and Peseiro has decided to reward Ebuehi for his fine form in the Italian Serie A for Empoli, where he has three assists in two games. He supplied the pass for the two goals that gave his team a 2-1 win over Salernitana. He followed it up with another assist last weekend in their 1-1 draw against Sampdoria.

27 year old Ebuehi will be returning to the team for the first time since the 0-4 loss to Portugal, a game he didn’t get to play. His last appearance for Nigeria came at the Africa Cup of Nations, where he played 75 minutes of the 2-0 win over Guinea Bissau in their final group game.
