Lagos - Victor Moses was omitted in Nigeria’s 23 man squad for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Congo and South Africa, as Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi was recalled to the Super Eagles. Nigeria begins its AFCON 2015 qualifiers against Congo on September 6 in Calabar before playing South Africa four days later in Cape Town. The list released by the Nigeria Football Federation on Tuesday also included defenders Kenneth Omeruo and Efe Ambrose, midfielders Ogenyi Onazi and John Mike Obi, and forwards Ahmed Musa and Emmanuel Emenike. France –based Elderson Echiejile, who missed the 2014 FIFA World Cup as a result of injury, Nosa Igiebor who missed the final cut for Brazil and Chinedu Obasi who was not considered for the tournament, are all back for September’s double –header.Onazi, the midfield powerhouse who suffered a terrible injury in the Round of 16 defeat by France, is now fully recovered, but Michael Babatunde, who was stretchered out against Argentina after a hand injury, is left out.
