2022 World Cup qualifiers: Nigeria announce 30-man squad for Liberia and Cape Verde

The Super Eagles are set to commence their quest for a place in the 2022 World Cup next month

Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has invited 30 players for their 2022 Fifa World Cup qualification games against Liberia and Cape Verde in September.

The Super Eagles will begin their Group C challenge against West African rivals Liberia on September 3 at the Teslim Balogun Stadium before travelling to Cape Verde, four days later.

Rohr has selected a strong team for the two matches which include seven players that would replace UK-based stars if the British government does not grant them an exemption for the trip to Cape Verde (a red-listed country in their coronavirus watch).
