Chelle is expected to trim the squad to 23 players before the end of the week as he looks to assemble his best team for the doubleheader.
The Super Eagles are yet to secure a victory in the qualifiers, having managed only three draws and one defeat in four matches.
They currently sit in fifth place in Group C with just three points, making the upcoming fixtures crucial in their quest for a World Cup berth.
With pressure mounting and the need to turn their fortunes around, all eyes will be on Chelle and his team as they seek a much-needed breakthrough.
