Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr has recalled England based duo Alex Iwobi and Isaac Success for the forthcoming 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Libya.

Rohr’s list of twenty-four invited players for the double-header against Libya’s Mediterranean Knights was released on Monday afternoon by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) with the names of Iwobi and one-cap forward Success in the mix.

Iwobi missed last month’s 3-0 win over Seychelles in Victoria due to an undisclosed illness while Success whose only cap for Nigeria was in a friendly against Senegal in March 2017 has been rewarded for his improved match time at English Premier League side, Watford.

Also earning recalls into Rohr’s side are defensive trio Ola Aina, William Troost-Ekong and Abdullahi Shehu who all missed the Seychelles trip due to varying degrees of injuries. The latter though yet to feature for his Turkish club Bursaspor since returning to training two weeks ago.
