Mikel Obi and the armada of

are conspicuously left out of the team while Victor Moses is however,
missing from the list due to foot injury.
"He has been carrying a toe injury for a while and
has surgery scheduled for it," Green told KweséESPN. "The coach has known about it for a
while and so have we.
"We decided it was best to let him have his surgery
now so he can be ready for the new season."
Without Moses, Trabzonspor midfielder Ogenyi Onazi leads
22 other players named for the match
up against Bafana Bafana.
SC Zamalek defender Maroof Yusuf is a surprise
