Abia Warriors’s Adeleke Adekunle called up to replace Omeruo in Eagle’s squad

Abia Warriors defender Adeleke Adekunle has been called up by Super Eagles head coach Gernot Rohr to replace CD Leganes defender Kenneth Omeruo in the upcoming AFCON qualifiers.

Omeruo withdrew from the Eagles squad and has now been replaced by the NPFL defender, who becomes the third domestic league player after Enyimba’s John Noble and Anayo Iwuala to be called up.

Adeleke is in his second season with Abia Warriors and has played all games this season. He has been booked once and redcarded once.
