It's been gathered that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen made the cut despite ongoing recovery from a broken eye socket he suffered two months ago.
While Saudi Arabian club, Al Shabab star Odion Ighalo and Everton midfielder Alex Iwobi made the cut along with likes of
Villarreal star Samuel Chukwueze, captain Ahmed Musa and the duo of Leon Balogun and William Troost-Ekong
Meanwhile Kelechi Nwakali, Spain-based Sadiq Umar and Orlando Pirates’ Olisa Ndah are some of the notable suprise names who were included in the list.
Coach Eguavoen opted just for one local-based professional – John Noble – who represents two-time African kings Enyimba.
The players who have been invited are expected to arrive in camp in Abuja on 29th December, while the UK-based players expected to start arriving on Monday, January 3.
