Watford forward Emmanuel Dennis and Brentford midfielder Frank Onyeka look set to be among the Super Eagles call-ups for next month’s 2022 World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde, SCORENigeria has gathered.
Gernot Rohr is expected to later this week announce his call-ups for the qualifiers – September 3 vs Liberia in Lagos and September 7 in Cape Verde.
Both Dennis and Onyeka were outstanding on their Premier League debut at the weekend.
Dennis will most likely profit from the absence of wingers Samuel Kalu and Samuel Chukwueze, who are both doubtful.
He last featured for the Eagles as a late sub in Sierra Leone in November.
Kalu gave a health scare at the weekend with his French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux, while Chukwueze is nursing a hamstring injury which kept him out of the UEFA Super Cup.
New Esperance signing Anayo Iwuala is not expected to be called up as he has not been active since the NPFL season ended earlier this month.
Rohr has also made it clear he will not be trying out new players for the World Cup qualifiers.
