Exclusive: Siasia Invites Roma Defender Abdullahi, Panathinaikos Midfielder Ajagun,Abubakar To Training Camp;Recalls Sokari,Etor

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Nigeria U23s coach Samson Siasia has drawn up a list of players he intends to select for the 2016 Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.

And there are some fresh invitees that made what you would rightly call a provisional squad list, with the former Nantes striker set to run the rule over Roma teenage sensations Sadiq Umar and Nura Abdullahi, KuPS defender Aliyu Abubakar and Panathinaikos loanee Abdul Ajagun during the get-together prior to the competition.

Other players that Siasia will monitor at the training camp include, but not limited to, K.V. Oostende striker Godwin Saviour and Barcelona defender Godswill Ekpolo.

The retired Nigeria international has shown his compassionate side as he plans to recall CS Sfaxien star Kingsley Sokari and Enyimba midfielder Daniel Etor, having omitted both players from his recent squads for leaving the Dream Team VI camp without permission just before the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.

The Nigeria U23s will trade tackles with Sweden, Japan and Colombia in the group stage of the Olympic Games.
