Arsenal
loanee Kelechi Nwakali is in contention to make his international debut for the
Olympic Eagles in an U23 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Libya at the
Stade du 7 Mars, Ben Gardane on March 20.
The
Porto B starlet is among the foreign-based professionals invited to beef up the
squad by manager Imama Amapakabo.
Nwakali
has vowed to join the Nigeria U23s at their get-together in Abuja before they
fly to Tunisia for the first leg match against the North Africans.
But
the attacking midfielder would be racing against the clock as Porto B have a
league match against Cova Piedade this coming Sunday, three days before the
second round tie.
The
ASJ Academy product was the Player of the Tournament at the 2015 FIFA U17 World
Cup and was captain of the Flying Eagles squad that failed to qualify for the
U20 World Cup in 2017.
Portuguese-based
professionals Kelechi John and Tosin Kehinde are already training with the
Dream Team with a view to a possible inclusion in the traveling party to
Tunisia.
