Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh has called up goalkeeper Carl Ikeme from Wolverhampton in preparation for their upcoming Africa Nations Cup qualifier vs. Tanzania next month.
Much of the squad is unchanged from the one his predecessor Stephen Keshi used his last time around. However, Oliseh did recall UAE-based forward Emmanuel Emenike, Werder Bremen striker Anthony Ujah and midfielders Lukman Haruna and Obiora Nwankwo.
Notable omissions include Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel and winger Victor Moses. Watford striker Odion Ighalo, who scored in the teams's 2-0 qualifying win against Chad, will also miss out.
"Coach Oliseh has fulfilled his promise that only players playing regularly at the top level will be invited," Nigeria Football Federation spokesman Ademola Olajire told BBC Sport.
"This is a new opportunity for some old players as well players who have been on the fringes of the squad.
"The locally-based players are already in Abuja, now the preparations can truly begin for Mr Oliseh and his players."
