Vincent Enyeama and Dickson
Etuhu have been handed Nigeria
recalls for two quickfire
friendlies against Botswana and
Zambia this month.
Victor Moses, who was cleared last
month by Fifa to represent Nigeria,
was also called up as Nigeria named
28 players for both games.
There was also a first time call up
for Lecce forward Edward Ofere.
The Super Eagles take on the Zebras
at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium
on Saturday, November 12, before
flying to Kaduna to play Zambia’s
Chipolopolo at the Ahmadu Bello
Stadium three days later.
Both Botswana and Zambia are
participating in the 2012 Africa Cup
of Nations taking place in Equatorial
Guinea and Gabon.
