Others called up include regulars like Daniel Akpeyi, Chidozie Awaziem, Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi and Victor Osimhen.

There are recalls for in-form Iheanacho and Wigan's Balogun whilst as widely anticipated, Cyriel Dessers is included.

The likes of Sadiq Umar, Josh Maja and Mikel Agu miss out.

Nigeria will face Sierra Leone on 27 March at home with the reverse fixture to be played on the 31st of the same month.
