Nigeria have named uncapped duo Semi Ajayi
and Jamilu Collins in their squad to face
Seychelles in September's 2019 Africa Nations
Cup qualifier, with Gernot Rohr largely keeping
faith with his World Cup squad.
Ajayi, a central defender on the books of
Championship club Rotherham United, and left-
back Collins, who plays for SC Paderborn 07 in
the German second division, are amongst four
uncapped players in the 24-man squad unveiled
in Lagos on Friday.
Highly-rated Kelechi Nwakali of Arsenal, who is
on a season-long loan at FC Porto B, and new
Bordeaux signing Samuel Kalu complete the list
of first-timers.
Gernot Rohr has retained 18 of his World Cup
roster, with the exclusion of retired Victor
Moses, and the injury-enforced omission of the
trio of John Obi Mikel, Tyronne Ebuehi and
Abdullahi Shehu.
Elderson Echiejile misses out entirely, in a move
which may signal the end of the left-back's
international career.
There is a return to the squad for Henry
Onyekuru and Ola Aina, both of whom missed out
on the World Cup party.
The former, who is enjoying his start to life on
loan at Galatasary, was overlooked by Rohr
despite returning from a serious injury, while
Aina was dropped from the standby list.
The Super Eagles, who are third in Group E after
matchday one, are expected to open camp in
Seychelles on September 3, five days before the
fixture.
