The Slovakia-based centre back has teamed up with Gernot Rohr’s squad in Austria after being handed a late invitation
Spartak Trnava’s Izuchukwu Anthony has earned a late call-up to the Nigeria senior national team for Friday’s international friendly against Cameroon.
The 23-year-old was invited to give coach Gernot Rohr options in the defence following injuries to regular faces.
They include Torino’s Ola Aina, West Bromwich Albion’s Semi Ajayi, FC Porto’s Zaidu Sanusi, Benfica’s Tyronne Ebuehi and Hoffenheim’s Kevin Akpoguma.
Anthony was part of the Nigeria U23 squad that failed to impress at the 2019 Africa U23 Cup of Nations staged in Egypt.
