Nigeria Super Eagles Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr has called up 25 players for the two international friendly matches to be played with Senegal and Burkina Faso in London later this month.

This is disclosed in a statement by the Nigeria Football Federation’s (NFF’s) spokesperson, Ademola Olajire in Abuja.

Meanwhile, the Nigeria Football Federation [NFF] and its Official FIFA Match Agent, Jairo Pachon of Eurodata Sport have further confirmed details for matches.

Rohr listed goalkeeper Carl Ikeme, midfielder Ogenyi Onazi and forwards Ahmed Musa and Kelechi Iheanacho for this month’s international friendly matches against Senegal and Burkina Faso in London.

Team captain Obi John Mikel is excused from the squad as Vice-captain Ahmed Musa will lead the team in his absence.

Also included are home –based goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa, defenders Leon Balogun and William Ekong, midfielders Wilfred Ndidi and Oghenekaro Etebo and forwards Victor Moses, Alex Iwobi and Moses Simon.

Germany –based forward Noah Joel Bazee and Holland –based defender Tyronne Ebuehi will join up with the squad for the first time, while youngster Victor Osimhen, record top scorer at the FIFA U17 World Cup, returns.

The Super Eagles will be up against Senegal’s Teranga Lions on Thursday, 23rd March before taking on the Etalons of Burkina Faso four days later. Both matches will be played at The Hive, home ground of Barnet Football Club.
