After being ignored by the previous coaches, Austin Eguavoen, and Gernot Rohr, who handed him his debut, Dessers has been rewarded for his impressive performances for Dutch club, Feyenoord this season with a recall to the Super Eagles.

The 27-year-old couldn't hide his happiness, taking to his social media accounts to react to his latest invitation.

"We are back," Dessers posted on his Twitter account. "Let's goooo," he added.

Another player who is excited by his invitation is Rivers United star and NPFL top scorer, Ishaq.

The 21-year-old Ishaq has been in superb form for the Pride of Rivers, with his league-leading 14 goals taking United to the top of the NPFL table.

Reacting to the list, the excited forward says the opportunity to represent his country is a 'rare one' and a 'dream come true.'

"Excited to be called up to the Super Eagles squad for the friendly games vs Mexico & Ecuador," He posted on his Twitter account.

"For me, this is a dream come true & a rare opportunity to wear the colour as well. Grateful to Rivers United FC management/technical crew & my teammates for their support."

The Super Eagles will take on Mexico on May 28 at the AT & T Stadium in Dallas before going head-to-head with Ecuador at the Red Bull Arena on June 2nd.
