Published: October 16, 2018Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo will not make his 42nd appearance for the Super Eagles when they face Libya on Tuesday evening.
The CD Leganes central defender misses out entirely after manager Gernot Rohr opted to name Rotherham United's Semi Ajayi in the match day squad.
Versatile Lokomotiv Moscow fullback Brian Idowu has returned to the 18-man squad only because of the unavailability of Abdullahi Shehu.
Five players in the shape of goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Henry Onyekuru, Kelechi Iheanacho, Isaac Success and John Ogu have retained their places on the bench.
Apart from Omeruo, Chippa United goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, Levante's Moses Simon and Porto's Chidozie Awaziem have been overlooked for selection.
