Granada defender Henry Uche Agbo has been called up as replacement for injured Mainz defender Leon Balogun for the upcoming World Cup qualifier between Nigeria and Zambia on October 9.
This is the first time the Enyimba product has been invited to the Super Eagles and joins his good friend and former teammate Isaac Success in the 23-man roster.
Agbo, 20, is originally a midfielder but was transformed into a center half since the start of this season by manager Francisco Jémez Martín and handed the number five kit.
Of a possible six matches, Uche Agbo has played five times in the very competitive La Liga, including games against Villarreal and Athletic Club.
He was a member of the Flying Eagles squad at the 2013 Fifa Under 20 World Cup.
