Esiti replaces Ndidi as Rohr includes Idowu for Nigeria’s clash against Ukraine

Gernot Rohr has added Lokomotiv Moscow left-back Brian Idowu to his initial 23-man squad for Nigeria’s friendly match against Ukraine on September 10.

Idowu’s recall comes nine months after his last international outing against Uganda at the Stephen Keshi Stadium.

Despite playing in all of the Super Eagles’ games at the 2018 Fifa World Cup in Russia, the 27-year-old was not included in the 23-man team that represented Nigeria at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt where they won the bronze medal.
