Super Eagles acting coach Daniel Amokachi has released a list of 28 Super Eagles' players,that would represent the National team in the twin friendly matches against Bolivia on March 26 at the Akwa Ibom Stadium after which they would travel down Mbombela to play against South Africa on March 29.
The list was kind of a shocker,as he had excluded some regularly occurring names,that always appeared in Stephen Keshi's list.
Names like John Obi Mikel,Emmanuel Emenike were surprisingly missing,while Stoke player Victor Moses was selected as a standby player in Amokachi's list,for some concrete reasons.
The list includes 17 abroad based players and 10 players from the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL).
