Nigeria coach Chelle has opened the door to 13 new players as he broadens his options for the senior national team, according to Premium Times Nigeria. The players received their first senior invitations ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming international engagements. Their inclusion represents a fresh group entering the Super Eagles’ plans under Chelle.
The supplied material does not identify the 13 players. It also does not specify whether the invitations relate to competitive matches, friendly fixtures or a particular international window. The report’s headline refers to James and Ilenikhena, but the available extract does not provide their full names, positions, clubs or previous involvement with Nigeria’s national teams.
There is also no information in the source material about whether the players have made the final squad, attended camp or appeared in a match. An invitation is described as the first senior call-up, rather than a confirmed appearance for the national team. Premium Times presented the selections as part of Chelle’s effort to broaden his choices at senior level.
The source did not include comments from the coach or details of the criteria used to select the new faces.
