SORIOLA IN FOR MOHAMMED

Defender Gege Soriola has been called up to the Super Eagles as replacement for Yusuf Mohammed.

The Al Hilal fullback was forced to withdraw from the squad with injury.

Soriola was one of the stars of this month's WAFU Cup where the team of domestic Super Eagles reached the Final despite a lack of preparation.

Soriola was one of the standout players from the tournament, although he blotted his copybook with a mindless challenge in the Final that earned him a red card, and ultimately cost his team the title.
