Arna-Bjornar's Ngozi Ebere has earned a late invitation to the Nigeria women's side for Monday's clash against Cote d'Ivoire, Goal can exclusively report.
The 28-year-old, who played a part in the Super Falcons' second-round triumph over Algeria, was surprisingly left out by coach Christopher Danjuma for the Tokyo 202 Olympic Games qualifier against the Ivorians.
After his side's laboured to a 0-0 draw in Abidjan in the first, the interim tactician sent a late call-up to the veteran defender, who subsequently granted her release by her Norwegian outfit.
Upon receiving the call-up on Thursday, the former Rivers Angels star arrived in Nigeria on Saturday night and was well-received by her teammates at their base in Park Lane Hotel in Lagos.
