Enyimba goalie Ojo Olorunleke and Akwa United’s Adewale Adeyinka are the two other goalkeepers in the squad.
Moffi and Bonke will replace Emmanuel Dennis and Sadiq Umar.
Dennis is injured and is not available for both games. He missed Watford’s last four Premier League games of the season as a result of the setback.
Sadiq pulled out of the friendlies due to club engagement.

I will be Keen to see what Adebayo Adeleye has to bring forth to the table against Mexico and Ecuador.
We have really suffered major setbacks in the hands of our goalkeepers! The likes of Uzoho and Okoye should have really come of age as they have been there for a while and have learnt a lot from their previous mistakes..
I will like to also sound out this guy Bankole of Remo Stars… He is the best goalkeeper in the Nigerian domestic league this season….so far, he has conceded only 12goals and he has kept 13clean sheets.. I am surprised why he was not listed ahead of the aforementioned…
All the best to Cyriel Kolawole Dessers and his club feyenoord Rotterdam this night against Roma in their inaugural UECL final..
Is Taiwo Awoniyi Injured otherwise i don’t see why he is not in this List.. Also why has Isaac Success been Forgotten after a stellar Last 6 months in Italy!.. Why is our Coaches so clueless like this?.. This Bonke guy did not cut it for me in Ghana Games he was absolutley ineffective in the middle, the sooner Ndidi returns from injury the better for Nigeria.
Why has Nigeria forgotten Success is he Injured?
You know the one players that I would loved to have been called is Akinwunmi Amoo who is yet to play for the team . Of course Taiwo Awoniyi ought to be called to be honest . I haven’t been impressed with Noble’s starting from the AFCON qualifiers to the World cup qualifiers . He’s not shown that Ndid can’t be missed .
THESE TWO FRIENDLIES IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR ANY PLAYERS (either homebase or foreign base) TO THEIR CLAIM SHIRT FOR LIFE IF GIVEN CHANCES TO PLÀY OR FORGET INVITATION AGAIN
