Interim Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has announced his
squad for back to back African Nations qualifiers
against Sudan next month.
There are some strange untested new faces in the
squad list made public on Friday afternoon, with as
many as four players earning call ups for the first time.
The coach still ignored inviting Ike Uche.
Striker Sunday Emmanuel, a bench-warmer at Austrian
Bundesliga strugglers SV ScholzGrodig, who has 65
minutes of playing time since the start of the season
was considered good enough by Stephen Keshi.
Also in line to make his international debut is Ugonna
Anyora, a central defender cum defensive midfielder
currently on the payroll of Haugesund.
The 23 – year – old has struggled to earn a starting
shirt for his Norwegian team in the current season,
having made 11 starts out of a possible 24.
Reading midfielder Hope Akpan and in- form Guangzhou
R & F attacker Aaron Samuel will get their chance to
don the colours of the Super Eagles for the first time,
after they both missed out on the provisional World Cup
roster.
There are recalls for Babatunde Michael, Victor Moses
and Raheem Lawal while Villarreal striker Ikechukwu
Uche remains in the international wilderness after being
ignored by Stephen Keshi.
