Jose Peseiro decided to replace the 27-year-old with Empoli defender Tyronne Ebeuhi in the Super Eagles squad for the friendly games, according to Soccernet.

The Nottingham Forest defender took to his official page on Instagram to post exciting pictures of him celebrating his 27th birthday. It would be an understatement to say that he looked good.

He has been utilised as either a left-back or a right-back this season, as he continues to battle for the first-team shirt with Gonzalo Montiel, Serge Aurier, and Neco Williams.
