* Osaze Odemwingie is expected to make a return to Super Eagles team list today
Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi is expected to unveil his 36-man provisional list for the Brazil 2014 World Cup when he holds a meeting with the technical committee of the Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, in Abuja today.
According to reports, Keshi would defend his list of invited players for the Super Eagles pre-World Cup camp while the technical committee members are also expected to assure the coach on their support for the World Cup campaign.
The Su'per Eagles list has been shrouded in controversy after Keshi's recent comment that he would not include Villarreal of Spain striker Ikechukwu Uche in his provisional squad.
There have been speculations that the likes of Stoke City’s Osaze Odemwingie and Chinedu Ogbuke Obasi of Shalke 04 would make a surprise return to the team.
A report stated at the weekend that Keshi had short-listed six home based players and 29 foreign based
players in his provisional list.
Some of the notable players expected in the provisional squad include, Mikel Obi, Emmanuel Emenike, Godfrey Oboabona, Kenneth Omeruo, Onazi, Vincent Enyeama and Chigozie Agbim.
The NFF's Executive Board is expected to meet in the future to ratify whatever decisions reached at the meeting between the technical committee and Keshi today.
Mike Umeh, NFF's first Vice President said the board’s duty is to see how to enhance the team’s performance at the World Cup.
The 2014 World Cup starts on 12 June and ends 13 July in Brazil.
