Jose Peseiro, head coach of the super eagles, has released a 25-man squad list for the international friendly against Algeria.

Some injured key players have made it difficult for Peseiro to release the 25-man list earlier.

Maduka Okoye of Watford will return to the team, while Victor Osimhen, Umar Sadiq, and Semi Ajayi were expectedly omitted due to injury.
