Nsofor, Taiwo get Eagles recall
Acting
coach of the Super Eagles, Augustine Eguavoen has recalled West Ham
forward Obinna Nsofor and Marseille defender Taye Taiwo to the Super
Eagles for next month’s 2012 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match
against Guinea.
Both players were
conspicuously left out of the Super Eagles’ last match against
Madagascar in Calabar but have now been recalled against the Syli Stars
in Conakry after posting a series of impressive displays for their
respective clubs.
However, former
Bolton Wanderers defender Danny Shittu was dropped from the 30-man list
for the match. Shittu has been without a club since he was released by
Premier League side Bolton early this month.
Eguavoen also
recalled the duo of Dele Adeleye and Yusuf Ayila while handing a shock
call-up to Sunday Stephen who featured for the Spanish U-20 side at the
2007 FIFA World Youth Championship in Canada.
Guinea and Nigeria won their opening Group B matches, but Guinea
lead the standings by virtue of having beaten Ethiopia 4-1 in Addis
Ababa, while Nigeria defeated Madagascar 2-0.
