NFF Yet To Send Invitation Letter To Birmingham City Over Release Of Dream Team Invitee Viv Solomon - Otabor
Published: October 26, 2015
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that the Nigeria Football Federation has not sent an invitation letter to English Championship club Birmingham City over the invitation of their player Viv Solomon - Otabor to the Olympic National Team.
London - born Viv Solomon - Otabor, 19, is eligible to turn out for England and Nigeria but has pledged his international future to the Africans and trained with the Dream Team VI in the summer prior to the All - Africa Games.
The winger is keen to make his international debut for Nigeria during the African U23 Cup of Nations but his appearance in Senegal is not cast in stone as the tournament in Senegal is outside the Fifa window.
Viv Solomon - Otabor is on the periphery of the Blues first team and has made their 18 - man squad for Championship games 8 times in the current campaign, featuring 4 times off the bench.
If the Nigeria Federation completes the paper work, it remains to be seen if manager Gary Rowett will sanction his trip to Africa, with his team having games against Brighton & Hove and Middlesbrough, who are above them in the standings, during the two - week tournament in Senegal.
