Chelsea's updated Premier League roster for the remainder of the 2019-2020 season contains three players eligible to represent the Nigerian national teams, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.
Fullback Jordan Aina has been included amid speculation linking him with a departure from Stamford Bridge in the summer.
And the former England U16 international is joined in the squad list by midfielders Faustino Anjorin and Tariq Uwakwe.
Ike Ugbo is spending the whole of the season on loan at Roda JC in the Netherlands, so he's ineligible to be fielded for Premier League matches despite his inclusion.
The three players namely Aina, Anjorin and Uwakwe are classed as U21 players and scholars.
There were no spots for goalkeepers Kelechi Chibueze and Prince Adegoke; defenders Derrick Abu and Ashley Akpan have also been left out.
The quartet have been omitted because they are schoolboys who primarily represent Chelsea U16 team.
