Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr has called up 25 players for the March friendlies with Senegal and Burkina Faso in London.
Wolverhapton Wanderers goalkeeper Carl Ikeme will lead Daniel Akpeyi 
and Ikechukwu Ezenwa as the goalkeepers for the two test games.
Team captain Obi John Mikel is excused from the squad as he undergoes
 pre-season training with his new Chinese side Tianjin Teda as 
vice-captain Ahmed Musa will lead the team in his absence.
There is a return for FC Porto youngster Chidozie Awaziem while 
Victor Osimhen, John Ogu and Henry Agbo are also included in the squad.
Ogenyi Onazi, Leon Balogun, Moses Simon, Abdullahi Shehu and Kenneth 
Omeruo lead the usual suspects as Rohr handed maiden call-ups to Tyronne
 Ebuehi and little-known Hannover 96’ striker Noah Joel Bazee.
