The coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Jose Peseiro has extended an invitation to players who will represent Nigeria against Portugal on the 17th of November in an international friendly.
Peseiro will trim the final list to 23 players after sending out a provisional Invitation to 32 players last week. The coach will decide on his final list after this weekend round of games in the various European Leagues.
We exclusively gathered that Rivers United duo of Victor Sochima and Ebube Duru will be in the squad as the back up goalkeeper and left full back after their impressive performance in CAF competitions.
Also the coach has handed a recall to ace midfielder Oghenekaro Etebo who is now enjoying a new lease of life at Greek side Aris Saloniki. He has played the full duration of their last four games in the leagues.
Etebo performed brilliantly in the first two competitive games of Peseiro. He impressed against Sierra Leone in Abuja and posted a man of the match performance against Sao Tome and Principe away from home.
