Nigeria head coach Gernot Rohr has handed first call-ups to 2013 Under -17 World Cup winners Francis Uzoho and Chidiebere Nwakali ahead of November’s international engagements.

Uzoho made his senior debut for Spanish La Liga side Deportivo La Coruna in October, making a further appearance before his team manager Pepe Mel was fired.

Nwakali, elder brother of 2015 Under-17 World Cup Golden Ball winner, Kelechi, is also called up to join the list of midfielders for the World Cup qualifier against Algeria and friendly against Argentina.

Nigeria, who are already assured of a place at next summer’s FIFA World Cup Russia will be without defender Elderson Echiejile and inspirational winger Victor Moses due to injury.
