In desperation for National team game time, goalkeepers Ikechukwu Ezenwa, Daniel Akpeyi, midfielders John Ogu,Joel Obi, defender Chidozie Awaziem and attackers Simeon Nwankwo, Henry Onyekuru are part of the squad to increase their caps while freshers like Semi Ajayi, Jamilu Collins, Kelechi Nwakali and Samuel Kalu will show Nigerians what they got to offer in less competitive atmosphere.

The youthful trio of Wilfred Ndidi, Oghenekaro Etebo and Kelechi Iheanacho are not gambling with their spots.
