Super Eagles Technical Adviser Gernot Rohr has again left out captain Mikel John Obi from next month's crucial 2019 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against South Africa after he named a 23-man squad for the encounter. China-based Mikel Obi, who made his debut for the country in 2005, has not played for the team since the World Cup in Russia in June, where he led as captain. Officials have said the former Chelsea star was previously left out of the squad to allow him time to recover from niggling injuries. But he has since fully recovered and is now playing regularly for his Chinese club, Tianjin Teda.

They scored brilliant goals against Seychelles at home. ''I particularly like Percy Tau, who has impressed me, but I know that Keagan Dolly from Montpellier is injured.''
