Stephen Keshi has opted for the 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it' policy when choosing his Nigeria squad for the two-legged World Cup play-off clash with Ethiopia.
The Super Eagles coach has stuck with the tried and tested for the upcoming double-header against the Walya Antelopes, with locally-based players Chigozie Agbim, Francis Benjamin, Solomon Kwambe, Azubuike Egwuekwe and Sunday Mba all keeping their place in the 23-man squad.
Victor Moses and John Obi Mikel bring some Premier League experience to the group, while Vincent Enyeama will lead the team in the continued absence of regular skipper Joseph Yobo.
