Nigeria head coach Augustine Eguavoen has named a 25-man squad for the 2022 World Cup playoff tie against the Black Stars later this month.
Ademola Lookman is in line to make his Nigeria debut after being named in the Super Eagles squad.
Also, Watford striker Emmanuel Dennis, who was withdrawn from the squad for this year's Africa Cup of Nations, has also been included by Nigeria coach Augustine Eguavoen.

The Hornets reportedly refused to release Dennis for the tournament in Cameroon and a Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) statement said the 24-year-old had been excused because Watford were "baring fangs".
Elsewhere, strikers Victor Osimhen and Odion Ighalo also return after missing the Nations Cup.
Napoli's Osimhen tested positive for Covid-19 while recovering from facial fractures, while former Manchester United man Ighalo was blocked from joining the squad by his then-club side Al Shabab. He has since moved to fellow Saudi Arabian outfit Al Hilal.
Ghana will host the first leg of the World Cup play-off in Cape Coast on Friday, 25 March, with the return in Abuja on Tuesday, 29 March.
