In-form Enyimba forward Ezekiel Bassey aka Hazard is one of a dozen fresh faces who will lead players from the Nigeria league to a Super Eagles training camp next month.
Some of the other fresh invitees from the domestic league include Bright Ikechukwu (FC IfeanyiUbah), Aneifiok Godspower (Kano Pillars), Nelson Ogbonnaya (Heartland) and Prince Aggrey (Sunshine Stars).
the training camp is tentatively fixed to begin on August 17 and will serve for both the Super Eagles AFCON qualifier against Tanzania the following month as well as the start for the CHAN qualifier against Burkina Faso in October.
"The Eagles coaches will players in the league who are doing well currently, not with those who have made a name for themselves over the years,"
"They have worked closely with coaches in the various league clubs to find out about these players both on and off the pitch."
Bassey, for one, has dazzled for six-time champions Enyimba in the first round of this season's league since his switch from hometown club Akwa United.
"He has been our best player this season, he scores and creates goals that fans in Aba have nicknamed him Hazard (after Chelsea and Belgium star)," remarked Enyimba sporting director Jude Anyadufu.
