Manager of Millwall, Kenny Jackett was quoted as saying by newsatden.co.uk: ''I don't think he's going to go and I don't think he's been in touch with them. At the moment that's the decision.
"It was a surprise but it shows how well Danny has done. He's only in the preliminary squad so that's going to be cut down.
"But congratulations to him because he's in there based on his performances."
32 - year - old Danny Shittu played at the 2008 and 2010 editions of the African Cup of Nations. His last international appearance was an Afcon qualifying clash against Madagascar more than two years ago.
