SUNDAY Oliseh has recalled captain, Vincent Enyeama and English Premier League duo of John Mikel Obi, Victor Moses and Odion Ighalo for upcoming friendlies against Cameroon and Congo.
Mikel was dropped for last month's CAF Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in Tanzania after a miscommunication between him and Oliseh, while his team-mate Moses, who's on loan to West Ham, missed out through injury. Watford striker Ighalo was not considered while Lazio midfielder Ogenyi Onazi was sidelined by a one-match suspension picked up against Chad in June, when he was sent off.
Nigeria face Congo on 8 October in Antwerp and the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon three days later in Brussels as part of preparations for FIFA World Cup™ qualification.
The winners of the preliminary round between Swaziland and Djibouti will host the Super Eagles on 9 November in a World Cup first-round qualifier. Nigeria will host the return leg at home eight days later.
