The Super Eagles’ Technical Adviser, Gernot Rohr, has called up a total of 30 players for next month’s opening rounds of the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 qualifying competition.
Nigeria will host Liberia in Lagos on September 3 and visit Cape Verde in Mindelo on September 7.
The Director of Communications at Nigeria Football Federation NFF, Ademola Olajire, in a statement in Abuja said Rohr has stuck largely with his dependables in this list.
Olajire however disclosed that the situation with the team’s UK-based players, who may not be heading to Cape Verde, has enlarged the roster.
Cape Verde is on the red list of the British Government with regards to the global coronavirus pandemic.
The team’s 30-player list sees a return for South Africa-based goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, defenders Kenneth Omeruo and Kevin Akpoguma and Greece-based forward Henry Onyekuru.
