Ex Man U Star Jude Ighalo makes international retirement u-turn as He's included in Nigeria's squad ahead of 2022 World Cup Qualifiers against Cape Verde and Liberia

Former Watford and Manchester United striker has been recalled back into the Nigeria national team ahead of November international break.

Jude Odion Ighalo has been included in Gernot Rohr 24-man squad for the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers. 

Nigeria will face Liberia and Cape Verde Islands later this month in the qualifiers and the Al Shabab forward made the final cut. 

If you recall that Ighalo retired from Super Eagles duty after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt where he helped the West African country win bronze.

It's been gathered that Gernot Rohr has also handed Villarreal winger Samuel Chukwueze and Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi cal ups after they recovered from injuries.

Goalkeeper: Maduka Okoye, Daniel Akpeyi, Francis Uzoho.

Defenders: William Troost-Ekong, Chidozie Awaziem, Jamiliu Collins, Ola Aina, Kevin Akpoguma, Leon Balogun, Kenneth Omeruo, Zaidu Sanusi, Abdullahi Shehu.
