Gernot Rohr has named a 20-man team for the Super Eagles 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers, October 7, with Zambia.

The list which was posted on the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF's) website, comprises mainly of players who featured in last month's double-header with the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon.

Portuguese-based Dele Alampasu and wing-back,Tyronne Ebuehi, were dropped down to the standby-list while South Africa–based Daniel Akpeyi and Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi return after injury ruled them out of the encounter against Cameroon.

Nigeria leads Group B of the African qualifiers with ten (10) points after four games while Zambia are on seven. A win for the 1994 African Kings will see them book a ticket to the competition.
