Olympic Games: Nwabuoku snubbed as Dennerby invites 30 for Algeria clash

Nigeria coach Thomas Dennerby has called up 30 home-based players for their 2020 African Women's Olympic Games qualifier against Algeria later this month.

The list is dominated by players that won the Wafu Women's Cup in Cote d'Ivoire in May and were part of the Women's World Cup squad in France.

A notable omission from the list is Evelyn Nwabuoku, who captained the nation to 2019 Wafu Cup and helped the country reach the World Cup Round of 16 this summer.

Joy Jerry, Rofiat Imuran, Glory Ogbonna, Maureen Okpala and Lola Phillip made the list and will be hoping to stage a claim for a regular place.
