As we continue to countdown to 2017 AFCON qualifier between Nigeria and Tanzania in Dar es Salaam next month, Omgdailyupdate.blogspot.com takes a look at the performances of the invited foreign-based players for the big cracker.
This list also takes a look at players who didn’t make Sunday Oliseh’s list but could make it for subsequent games.
Anthony Ujah: Nigeria international Anthony Ujah continued his impressive run with German Bundesliga club Werder Bremen as he scored the goal that secured his team a 1-1 draw at Hertha Berlin.
Ujah who was given a call up by Coach Sunday Oliseh played the full game.
Kenneth Omeruo: The defender was rock-solid for Kasimpasa in Turkey as he played for the entire duration in a 1-0 win over Istanbul BB.
Ahmed Musa: The Super Eagles and CSKA Moscow striker, Ahmed Musa, is the joint highest goal scorer in the ongoing Russian League.
This follows his goal in CSKA Moscow 2-1 win against FK Rostov. He played from start to finish. He has goals in him to stop Tanzania at their backyard.
Juwon Oshaniwa: The left back continued to impress with his Scottish club Hearts as they beat Partrick Thistle 3-0. Oshaniwa played all 90 minutes for Hearts
Hearts is leading the table after remaining unbeaten in five games this season
Dele Alli: Young midfield maestro Dele Alli justified the £5Million splashed on him by Tottenham Hotspurs when he scored in the 81st minute to earn his team a point in 1-1 draw with Leicester city.
19 year old started with MK Dons in the league one before his switch over to the spurs. He scored a total of 16 goals in 2014/2015 season and ensures the team grabbed a ticket to play in the Championship next season.
Alli has represented England at the junior age grades but can still represent Nigeria if he wants to.

Mikel Obi: He was an 84th minute substitute for new signing Pedro in Chelsea’s 3-2 win at West Brom. It was his first taste of action in the new season. Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has maintained he has yet to make contact with the holding midfielder. Victor Moses was not dressed as he is still out injured.
Odion Ighalo: Ighalo was on from the blast of the whistle till the end as Watford drew goalless with Southampton at home.
He was not at his best and missed a sitter for the home team.
