Emmanuel Dennis is in line to make his senior debut for Nigeria after he was handed a late call-up to join the Super Eagles squad for their upcoming friendly against Ukraine, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

The Club Brugge star is the eighth player being managed by an associate of manager Gernot Rohr, DW Sports Management invited to the national team for the friendly.

DW Sports Management's clients Henry Onyekuru, Samuel Kalu, Oghenekaro Etebo, Moses Simon and Ahmed Musa were originally named to the roster, while Dennis, Anderson Esiti and Brian Idowu were added to the team due to some players pulling out as a result of injuries.

Dennis represented Nigeria at U15 level earlier in his career before he graduated to the U23 team, making his debut in an Olympic Games qualifier against Libya in March 2019.

This season, the winger has started six out of ten games played by Club Brugge in all competitions, scoring two goals.

Fortuna Dusseldorf's Maduka Okoye, Rangers' Joe Aribo and Bordeaux's Josh Maja are the other uncapped players in the Nigeria squad.
