NIGERIA Premier League (NPL) top scores, Godwin Obaje and Chisom Egbuchulam have been invited to replace injured duo of Victor Moses and Isaac Success for this weekend's 2018 FIFA World Cup Qualifying Matchday Day 1 tie against the Chipolopolo of Zambia in Ndola.
Recall Moses and Success both injured themselves while playing for their respective English Premier League clubs last weekend.
Obaje, on the books of Wikki Tourists of Bauchi, finished the just –ended Nigeria Professional Football League season as top scorer with 18 goals, and his goals steered the Bauchi darling team to a third place finish that has earned it a slot in next year’s CAF Confederation Cup competition.
Enugu Rangers’ skillful forward Egbuchulam finished just behind Obaje with 15 goals, including a hat-trick as the Flying Antelopes concluded a triumphant season with a 4-0 home win over El-Kanemi Warriors on Sunday, lifting the League diadem for the first time in 32 players.
