After missing the Africa Cup of Nations, Afcon 2021 in Cameroon, Victor Osimhen, Odion Ighalo, Oghenekaro Etebo, and Emmanuel Dennis have all returned to the team.

Ademola Lookman receives his first call up after being cleared to play for Nigeria, while Young Akinkunmi Amoo has also been given the opportunity to makes his debut for the Eagles.

The two youngsters earned their maiden invitation for the crucial World Cup Qualifiers against Ghana.

✅ Ahmed Musa
✅ Moses Simon
✅ Samuel Chukwueze
✅ Victor Osimhen
✅ Odion Ighalo
✅ Sadiq Umar
✅ Kelechi Iheanacho
✅ Emmanuel Dennis

As good as any squad in the world.

While the likes of Chidozie Awaziem, Jamilu Collins, Chidera Ejuke. Taiwo Awoniyi, Paul Onuachu, Peter Olayinka, Ogenyi Onazi are all on standby

Many Super Eagles fans have turned to social media to express their unhappiness with certain players invited by the team’s head coach.

According to Twitter users, Umar Sadiq and Odion Ighalo have no place in the squad that will face the Black Stars.
