Exclusive: Akpeyi, Idowu, Osimhen, Oboabona Were NOT Considered For Call-Up Vs Algeria

Contrary to rumours emanating from a section of the media, Rizespor stopper Godfrey Oboabona, Wolfsburg trainee Victor Osimhen, Amkar Perm ace Brian Idowu, Gent midfielder Anderson Esiti and Chippa United goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi were never considered for selection in the latest Super Eagles roster.

Allnigeriasoccer.com is in the possession of an email sent by the Nigeria Football Federation to all the invited foreign-based professionals and the aforementioned players were never informed to show up in Abuja for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria.

As a result of the document in our possession, this website correctly predicted the new players invited to beef up the squad, without making guesses, leaving out ADO Den Haag youngster Ebuehi because we were not sure of his email address and his Dutch agent has not yet informed us of his availability up to this moment.

Suggestions that the NFF and technical crew made last minute changes to the 25-man roster are out of topic and something done to save face.

It is common knowledge that Watford striker Isaac Success would have been invited but was eventually omitted after suffering another injury setback.
