Kelechi Iheanacho has been provisionally invited the the squad of the senior national team of Nigeria for the upcoming AFCON qualifiers by head coach Eric Chelle, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Iheanacho who has been in the international wilderness for two years will now face a huge task making the 30 man list for the upcoming games in September against Madagascar and Guinea-Bissau respectively.
Super Eagles will begin their campaign to be at the 2027 AFCON with a home tie in Uyo against Madagascar on the 23rd of September before traveling to keep a date with Guinea-Bissau four days later.
Chelle who is facing a crisis in attack has handed a recall to the 29 year old who has scored 8 goals and two assists in six games for second division Turkish side Bursaspor.
His invitation we gathered is to place him on standby in the event that any player picked in the final list picks up a knock that will keep him out of the game.
