PAOK of Greece midfielder Anderson Esiti has been handed a shock recall to the senior national team of Nigeria ahead of their friendly game against Ukraine after a close to four year absence from the team.
Loading...
Esiti was called up alongside Lokomotive Moscow defender Bryan Idowu who is in as back up for Tyronne Ebuehi who might not be fit for the game while Esiti is in as Ndidi has been ruled out.
Idowu last played for Nigeria during the qualifiers for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations but fail to make the squad for the tournament proper after losing his spot to Jamilu Collins with Ola Aina also coming back into the team after a good display for Torino last season.
The announcement was made on the official twitter handle of the Super Eagles of Nigeria with the inclusion of Idowu swelling the numbers of players in the team to 24.

I don't think Idowu was that bad sha, plus he adds to the depth of our full backs, definitely he's behind the likes of Collins, Aina, Ebuehi, and even maybe a makeshift Awaziem. Glad Esiti was finally called... we can't always rely on Ndidi or Etebo considering the possibility of injuries. DEPTH DEPTH DEPTH.

I guess the likes of Azuibikwe and Michael Kingsley are being allowed to play for the U23 team because I would not pick that slow lumbering giant over any of these guys for our midfield. No way.
We dont need slow and one dimensional midfield players for heavens sake.

Forget the person (not to be named) for a second. Who's Esiti, is he better than Pius Ikedia's twin brother Okechukwu Azubuike?

Well-deserved call up...
MACEO won't be happy with it though.

Seconded +1. Idowu no be am but I salute the recall of Esiti, I am a fan. That's how an African DM should be built. He and Mikel Agu should have been at the Worldcup instead of the many other passengers taken along on midfield.

The man is just chopping Naija money. I hope they don't extend his contract.
