CF Montreal striker, Ibrahim Sanusi, has been handed a late invitation to the Nigerian squad, ahead of this weekend’s international friendly match against Mexico.
Sanusi will now join up with the Nigeria Professional Football League players led by NFF technical director Austin Eguavoen in Los Angeles.
The former Nasarawa United man finished as the top scorer in the 2019 NPFL season with 10 goals in 22 matches and he moved to Major League Soccer from 36 Lion FC in January.
So far this season in the American top-flight, he has played six matches for Wilfried Nancy’s side but he is yet to open his goal account.
“CF Montreal forward Sunusi Ibrahim has been selected by Nigeria to take part in a friendly against Mexico, this Saturday, at the Memorial Coliseum, in Los Angeles,” read a statement from the club.
“The Super Eagles will continue their preparation for the 2022 African Nations Championship, while Mexico is completing their preparation for the Concacaf Gold Cup, which begins on July 10, in the United States.
“In 2019, Ibrahim played three U23 Africa Cup of Nations matches with Nigeria, tallying one assist in 193 minutes of play.”
