Super Eagles head coach, Gernot Rohr, has released his provisional list of 31 players for the high-profile international friendly against five-time African champions Cameroon in Austria on June 4.

 

The friendly is scheduled for the Wiener Neustadt in the Austrian capital, Vienna, from 8.30pm (Austrian time).

 

The provisional list of 31 will be cut down to 23, before the Eagles fly to Vienna for the clash with perennial rivals Indomitable Lions.

 

Both teams last met in 2017 during their 2018 Russia World Cup qualifiers with the Eagles coming out victorious 4-0 in Uyo, before a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture in Yaounde, setting the stage for Nigeria’s qualification for the finals in Russia.
