Head coach of the Super Eagles, Eric Chelle, has
extended a late invitation to Chibuike Nwaiwu ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming
international friendlies.
Nwaiwu, who currently features for Trabzonspor, has
been drafted into the squad following the withdrawal of Calvin Bassey, who is
sidelined due to injury.
The call-up represents a major breakthrough for the
21-year-old defender and former Enyimba player, as he receives his maiden
invitation to the senior national team.
Nwaiwu’s recent performances in Turkey have caught the
attention of the coaching crew, with his consistent displays earning him a
place in Chelle’s plans.
He is expected to join the squad as preparations
continue for friendly matches against Iran and Jordan, as Nigeria fine-tunes
its team ahead of future international competitions.
