Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has officially sent out letter of provisional invitation to players who will be part of the team for the final round of games in the world cup qualifiers in October.

Nigeria will be up against Lesotho and Benin Republic respectively in their final two games of the world cup qualifiers, where they will be pushing for a win in both games to keep their hope of making at least the play off spot of the world cup alive.

Chelle is optimistic of a positive result and has gone for the best players available to prosecute both games, and he also made a bold decision to leave out some players who were part of the team for the last round of games.

The coach dropped new Panathinaikos forward Cyriel Dessers with Nice forward Terem Moffi taking his spot in attack. There is also a return for FC Porto defender Zaidu Sanusi.

Meanwhile, among the players who were invited to the team for the first time is Serie A midfielder Ebenezer Akinsamiro who is on loan to Pisa from Inter Milan. He was the man of the match in the 0-0 draw against Fiorentina yesterday.
