Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr has again overlooked skipper John Obi Mikel for forthcoming games against Seychelles and Egypt.
The Super Eagles welcome Seychelles to the South-South city of Asaba on March twenty-second in a final 2019 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier and four days later they will take on Egypt in a friendly at the same venue.
Mikel has not played for Nigeria since the team exited the 2018 World Cup at the group stage in Russia in June.
However, he has been on superb form for promotion-seeking Middlesbrough in the English second division since his recent return from China in January.
Nigeria has also called up two uncapped players for these matches-Valentine Ozornwafor, who shone at the recent Under-twenty African Championship in Niger and Paul Onuachu, who has been a consistent scorer for Danish club FC Midtjylland.
