Despite his lack of playing time at Leicester City, coach Gernot Rohr has insisted on Ahmed Musa after he named a 23-man squad for next month’s World Cup qualifier against Zambia.
Rohr has insisted on current form and regular playing time for his call-ups, but it appears he has again made an exception for former Eagles skipper Ahmed Musa.
However, the Franco-German coach has dropped Portugal-based goalkeeper Dele Alampasu, who has yet to play an official game for his parent Portuguese club, to be part of the standby list that also has Tyronne Ebuehi, Aaron Samuel as well as WAFU Cup stars Afeez Aremu and Ifeanyi Ifeanyi.
The full squad:
Goalkeepers: Daniel Akpeyi (Chippa United, South Africa); Ikechukwu Ezenwa (FC IfeanyiUbah); Ayodele Ajiboye (Plateau United FC)
Defenders: William Ekong (Bursaspor FC, Turkey); Abdullahi Shehu (Anorthosis Famagusta, Cyprus); Leon Balogun (FSV Mainz 05, Germany); Elderson Echiejile (Sivasspor FC, Turkey); Uche Agbo (Standard Liege, Belgium); Chidozie Awaziem (Nantes FC, France); Olaoluwa Aina (Hull City, England)
Midfielders: Mikel Obi (Tianjin Teda, China); Ogenyi Onazi (Trabzonspor FC, Turkey); Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City, England); Oghenekaro Etebo (CD Feirense, Portugal); John Ogu (Hapoel Be’er Sheva, Israel); Mikel Agu (Bursaspor FC, Turkey)
Forwards: Ahmed Musa (Leicester City, England); Kelechi Iheanacho (Leicester City, England); Moses Simon (KAA Gent, Belgium); Alex Iwobi (Arsenal FC, England); Odion Ighalo (Chang Chun-Yatai, China); Victor Moses (Chelsea FC, England); Anthony Nwakaeme (Hapoel Be’er Sheva, Israel)
