Bassey In, Jamilu Collins on standby in Super Eagles squad to face Ghana

Glasgow Rangers defender, Calvin Bassey has earned a recall to the Super Eagles after strings of impressive displays with the Scottish club.

Bassey earned the call ahead of FC Paderborn’s Jamilu Collins who is on standby.

The young defender’s stock has risen since the appointment of Dutchman Giovanni Van Bronckhorst in the Gers’ dugout.

With Nigeria chasing a World Cup ticket against Ghana, Bassey has another opportunity to impress national team handlers after he was previously invited but unused by former coach, Gernot Rohr.

His Rangers teammates and regular Super Eagles suspects, Leon Balogun and Joe Aribo were also handed invitations.
