(Reuters) - Nigeria have recalled former captain Joseph Yobo and included four uncapped players in their 23-man squad for a World Cup warm-up against Mexico in Atlanta on March 5, the Nigerian Football Association said on Thursday.
It will be Yobo's first international since lifting the African Nations Cup trophy for his country just over a year ago. The 33-year-old central defender joined English Premier League club Norwich City on loan last month.
