The 31-year-old had been out of the Super Eagles since 2013 when he
played in a World Cup qualifier under Stephen Keshi. He had talked about
retiring from the national side after being ignored by the former coach
who he claimed did not like him.
The Sounders striker has been in impressive form this year, scoring
15 goals in Major League Soccer so far. He made his Nigeria debut more
than a decade ago and has 18 goals in 39 appearances.Oliseh announced his squad of 23 invitees for the double-header against Swaziland on Thursday afternoon with the inclusion of several young players that include Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi, Feirense goalkeeper Dele Alampasu and Genk midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.get paid to download free app
