Estranged striker Yakubu Ayegbeni and Sani Kaita are back to the Super Eagles squad as Stephen Keshi invites 11 foreign-based players for the 2013 Africa Nations Cup qualifying match against Rwanda in Kigali on February 29.
The two players have not featured for Nigeria since the 2010 FIFA World Cup finals in South Africa. Kaita earned a red card for retaliation in Nigeria's second group phase match against Greece in Bloemfontein while Ayegbeni has been overlooked since missing a sitter against the Republic of Korea in Durban. The goal would have qualified the Eagles for the Round of 16 at Africa's first World Cup finals.
Also called are goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama, team captain Joseph Yobo and Taye Taiwo. Midfielders Joel Obi, Dickson Etuhu and Victor Moses, and forwards Ahmed Musa, Ikechukwu Uche and Osaze Odemwingie made the list.
The final list will be made public on February 26.
