Super Eagles list for World Cup qualifiers – Zaidu Sanusi Returns, Posers, Okoye, Iheanacho, out

The chief coach of the national senior team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has sent provisional invitations to the players who will be part of the team for the next World Cup Classification Games against Rwanda and South Africa, respectively, reports Owngoalnigeria.com.

Nigeria will seek to give life to his campaign when they receive Rwanda at the Godswill Akpabio stadium in Uyo on September 6, before a trip to the leaders of the South Africa group.

As requested by FIFA, the chief coach has sent provisional invitations to around 40 players from which he will choose a final list of 23 players for both games. We can inform exclusively that the defender of FC Porto Zaidu Sanusi was one of the players who received the invitation cards.

Zaidu has not been involved with the Super Eagles since he received a LCA injury that kept him out of action for more than a year. Returning to full fitness and after playing in the first game of the Porto season last weekend.

Meanwhile, the Rangers striker, Cyriel Desess, who returned to the team after their performances in the Unity Cup invitation tournament in England will not be part of the team.

We gather your omission is due to the fact that you are currently injured, and it is not expected to be in shape before the games. It is a similar case for goalkeeper Maduka Okoye, who will be absent due to the prohibition of bets, which will see it out of competitive action until October.

However, the forward of Seville, without favor, Kelechi Iheanacho will lose the team completely due to its poor form, and also in its uncertain future, which has made it impossible to be registered for the beginning of the new season in Spain.
