As many as five home based player were listed as Nigeria Coach Stephen Keshi unveiled a strong looking starting eleven for the World Cup qualifier against Namibia in Calabar.

As expected Vincent Enyeama, skipper in the absence of Joseph Yobo, starts in goal. Godfrey Oboabona, Juwon Oshaniwa, Azubuike Egwuekwe and Efe Ambrose have Keshi's nod in defense.

Norway based midfielder Fegor Ogude will provide cover for the defenders. Ike Uche, who played most of last season from the wings for Spanish side Granada, and Gabriel Reuben make up the players in midfield.

One player that  most Nigerians will be counting on for goals is the experienced Montpellier forward John Utaka, who starts in attack. Wigan's exciting winger Victor Moses and Enugu Rangers dribbling sensation Ejike Uzoenyi complete the forward line.
