Nigeria manager Gernot Rohr has named Oghenekaro Etebo in his 24-man squad for next month’s 2018 World Cup qualifier against Algeria in Uyo.<\/p>\n
Etebo, who plays for CD Feirense in Portugal, scored four goals to help Nigeria clinch bronze at the 2016 Rio Olympics.<\/p>\n
“I am delighted to be recalled and I hope to give my best to the country as always,” Etebo told BBC Sport following his first call-up under the new national manager.<\/p>\n
Premier League duo Victor Moses and Odion Ighalo are also included.<\/p>\n
Chelsea’s Moses is back to full fitness, and Watford striker Ighalo returns having been excused from the Zambia game to bury his father.<\/p>\n
There are recalls for midfielder John Ogu, goalkeeper Dele Alampasu and Germany-based defender Leon Balogun.<\/p>\n
The only uncapped player in the squad is little known defender Tyronne Ebuehi from Dutch club ADO Den Haag.<\/p>\n
FC IfeanyiUbah goalkeeper Ikechukwu Ezenwa is the only player from the Nigeria premier league picked as the competition is on a break.<\/p>\n
