Osimhem who has made three substitute appearance this term for Wolfsburg is one of the three strikers included in the squad by Rohr.
Osimhen arrived the Super Eagles camp in Paris, France on Wednesday after helping his German side retain their topflight status by defeating Bundesliga 2 side, Eintracht Braunschweig 2-0 on aggregate in the 2016/17 promotion and relegation play-off.
"Hi Nigerians, I am here in the Super Eagles camp. I am here to give my best and work hard for the good of the team,'' Osimhen said in a short video clip tweeted on the official handle of the Nigeria Football Federation.
