Keshi calls up Enyeama, Moses, 22 others for Sudan

Nigeria’s Head Coach, Stephen Keshi, has named goalkeeper and skipper Vincent Enyeama and 23 others for next month’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations must-win qualifying tango away and home to Sudan.

Both teams clash in Khartoum on Saturday 11 October before trading tackles at the National Stadium, Abuja four days later.

Keshi has also included Victor Moses who he did not call for the two matches against Congo and South Africa earlier this month.

He also called a handful of new faces, including former junior international Raheem Lawal, China–based striker Aaron Samuel and relatively unknown Anyora Ugonna, who plays in Norway.

There are also opportunities for World Cup star Babatunde Michael, who is back from injury and Reading of England’s Hope Akpan and Austria –based forward Sunday Emmanuel.

African champions Nigeria must win both matches against pointless Sudan next month to have any realistic chance of reaching the finals in Morocco early next year.
