South African based goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi is number one on the list of invited players as Nigeria prepare for their penultimate 2018 World Cup qualifier against Zambia on October 7.

According to the list revealed on the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) website on Tuesday morning, Akpeyi who was released from camp in the buildup to Nigeria’s last games against Cameroon is rewarded for returning to the post for his South African side Chippa United.

The 23-man squad consists of virtually the same set of players that prosecuted the last games against Cameroon meaning there is no place for Turkey-based defender Kenneth Omeruo.

The team will be led to Uyo by China-based duo of captain John Mikel Obi and Odion Ighalo while struggling Leicester City duo of Kelechi Iheanacho and Ahmed Musa are also on the list.
