Augustine Eguavoen will once again be in charge of the national team as the Nigerian Football Federation decided on a permanent coach.

Victor Osimhen is the big omission from the squad but it is reportedly down to injury, which also rules out Ndah who did feature in the last international break.

The Super Eagles defeated Benin 3-0 in their opening qualifier before playing to a goalless draw against Rwanda.

Full squad:

Goalkeepers: Stanley Nwabali (Chippa United); Maduka Okoye (Udinese FC); Amas Obasogie (Fasil Kenema SC)

Midfielders: Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City); Raphael Onyedika (Club Brugge); Alhassan Yusuf Abdullahi (New England Revolution); Fisayo Dele-Bashiru (Lazio FC); Frank Onyeka (Augsburg FC); Alex Iwobi (Fulham FC)
Forwards: Samuel Chukwueze (AC Milan); Chidera Ejuke (Sevilla FC); Ademola Lookman (Atalanta FC); Kelechi Iheanacho (Sevilla FC); Victor Boniface (Bayer Leverkusen); Moses Simon (FC Nantes); Taiwo Awoniyi (Nottingham Forest)
