Nigeria have named uncapped duo Semi Ajayi and Jamilu Collins in their squad to face Seychelles in September's 2019 Africa Nations Cup qualifier, with Gernot Rohr largely keeping faith with his World Cup squad.
Ajayi, a central defender on the books of Championship club Rotherham United, and left-back Collins, who plays for SC Paderborn 07 in the German second division, are amongst four uncapped players in the 24-man squad unveiled in Lagos on Friday.
Highly-rated Kelechi Nwakali of Arsenal, who is on a season-long loan at FC Porto B, and new Bordeaux signing Samuel Kalu complete the list of first-timers.
Gernot Rohr has retained 18 of his World Cup roster, with the exclusion of retired Victor Moses, and the injury-enforced omission of the trio of John Obi Mikel, Tyronne Ebuehi and Abdullahi Shehu.
Elderson Echiejile misses out entirely, in a move which may signal the end of the left-back's international career.
There is a return to the squad for Henry Onyekuru and Ola Aina, both of whom missed out on the World Cup party.
The former, who is enjoying his start to life on loan at Galatasary, was overlooked by Rohr despite returning from a serious injury, while Aina was dropped from the standby list.
The Super Eagles, who are third in Group E after matchday one, are expected to open camp in Seychelles on September 3, five days before the fixture.
