Highly-rated striker Victor Osimhen is among the big names picked by Nigeria coach Gernot Rohr for the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Liberia and Cape Verde.
The Napoli man who is having an excellent pre season will lead the line in the two games.
He is joined by England-based Kelechi Iheanacho and Paul Onuachu of Belgian top-flight club KRC Genk who are said have impressed the coach.
Scottish-based duo of Joe Aribo and Leon Balogun made the squad.
There is no place for home based goalkeepers John Noble and Ikechukwu Ezenwa.
Hapoel Jerusalem Katamon goalkeeper Adeleye Adebayo will reportedly get his opportunity.
The big beneficiaries are Cyprus-based defender Shehu Abdullahi and Kenneth Omeruo of Spanish side Leganes who were considered players on the periphery of the squad.
Other big winners are striker Terim Moffi, England-based Wilfred Ndidi and talented attacker Samuel Chukwueze of Spanish side Villarreal.
Tricky France-based winger Moses Simon who plays for Nantes was absolutely fantastic which led to the decision of coach Rohr to leave out Abraham Marcus as they compete for the same position.
But the squad is dominated by players who have immense experience led by skipper Ahmed Musa who will be hoping to reach a century of caps.
Together with them are Maduka Okoye, William Troost-Ekong, Zaidu Sanusi, Tyrone Ebuehi, Alex Iwobi, Ola Aina, Chidozie Awaziem, Kevin Akpoguma, Semi Ajayi and Francis Uzoho.
The Super Eagles will host Liberia on 29th August and then travel to keep a date with Cape Verde at the Estádio Nacional de Cabo Verde (Praia) on 4th September.
Nigeria have been drawn in Group C alongside Cape Verde, Liberia and Central African Republic.
