The Super Eagles have made known the players that will execute the March 23 and 27 pre-World Cup friendlies against Poland and Serbia respectively.
There were no much surprises on the 28 man list as the regular starters retained their places.
Italy based Joel Obi makes a return to the Super Eagles squad after a long absence as well as Ah Ahly of Egypt attacker, Junior Ajayi who has earned his first Super Eagles call-up.
A hope for another impressive performance from Francis Uzoho may be in the offing as he makes the list with Enyimba goalie, Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Chippa United goaltender, Daniel Akpeyi in the goalkeeping department.
However, fans and football enthusiasts has reacted to the list released.
Here are some tweets from fans.

I’m happy for inclusion of Junior Ajayi in the team BUT I don’t know why and What Daniel Akpeyi is doing in the team.

To me, Daniel Akpeyi should have been replaced by Dele Ajiboye.
