Alampasu recalled as Osimhen tops Nigeria squad for Cote d'Ivoire and Tunisia games

Goalkeeper Dele Alampasu has been recalled to the Nigeria squad for October’s international friendlies against Cote d’Ivoire and Tunisia.

Despite leaking five goals in Ventspils’ 5-1 Europa League defeat to Rosenborg, the 23-year-old has been a regular feature in Viorel Frunza’s Latvian Virsliga outfit.

His last call-up was in 2017 when the three-time African champions played out a 1-1 draw against Cameroon in a 2018 Fifa World Cup qualifier staged in Yaounde.

Meanwhile, Slovakia-based Mathew Yakubu, FC Porto’s Zaidu Sanusi, former U17 star Samson Tijani, Chidera Ejuke and Genk’s Cyril Dessers will be hoping to make their Super Eagles debuts against either team.
