This latest development follows Praha’s 2-0 aggregate victory over another Super Eagles duo, Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho, and their English club, Leicester City in the round of 32.
Peter, 25, played a pivotal role in both legs and in the second leg on Thursday, assisted the second goal as Praha sealed a famous win and place in Friday’s draw.
