When Nigeria's Super Eagles face the Bafana Bafana of South Africa and Cheetahs of Benin in the upcoming World Cup qualifier, it will be without Nathan Tella, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The skillful midfielder was one of the midfielders invited for the crucial qualifiers.

The update from the team camp indicates that the former Burnley attacker has decided to excuse himself from the team citing family reasons.

Super Eagles coach Finidi George has quickly responded by handing an invite to the Rizespor winger Ibrahim Olawoyin.

The former Enugu Rangers player was one of the outstanding performers in the just concluded Turkish Super Lig season.
