Super Eagles coach, Sunday Oliseh, has replaced injured Kenneth Omeruo by inviting Celtic defender, Efe Ambrose, for the international friendlies against DR Congo and Cameroon next month.

According to the NFF official Twitter handle, Ambrose will take Omeruo’s place in the Super Eagles for the test games in Belgium.

Omeruo was ruled out of the games after suffering a hamstring injury in club’s league game in the Turkish topflight, but he’s yet to be diagnosed to know the extent of his injury.
