Mikel, Moses Recalled As Oliseh Invites 24 Players For Friendlies by sagewonders(m): 3:24pm On Sep 19, 2015
The Chelsea midfielder and West Ham forward
were included in the list of Eagles to face the
Indomitable Lions and Red Devils in October
friendlies in Belgium

Coach Sunday Oliseh has invited 24 players for
next month's international friendly games
against Cameroon and DR Congo.
Heading the list are Mikel Obi and Victor Moses
who had been overlooked by Nigeria this year
owing to lack of regular playing time for their
respective English Premier League outfits.
All making a return to the senior national team
are Ogenyi Onazi, Elderson Echiejile and Odion
Ighalo – with former Flying Eagles star Abdulahi
Shehu handed a call up for the first time.
Others are Vincent Enyeama, Leon Balogun,
Rabiu Ibrahim, Godfrey Oboabona, Ahmed Musa
and Rabiu Ibrahim.

Six players from the Nigeria Professional
Football League made the cut and they include,
Femi Thomas, Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Paul Onobi,
Prince Aggrey, Austin Oboroakpo and Chima
Akas.

However, Solomon Kwambe, Gbolahan Salami,
Haruna Lukman were excluded from the squad
that would try the Indomitable Lions and Red
Devils for size.

Nigeria will take on Cameroon in a friendly in
Brussels, Belgium on October 11, and will also
face Congo three days earlier.


The winner of the preliminary round between
Swaziland and Djibouti will host the Super
Eagles on November 9 in a 2018 FIFA World Cup
first round qualifier, with the Eagles hosting the
return leg in Nigeria eight days later.
All invited players are expected to report in
Belgium on Monday.
