Nigeria U20s Coach Will Not Call Up New Players Ahead Burundi Clash; List Of 18 Players Sent To CAF
Published: May 11, 2016
The Flying Eagles will meet Nigeria National League side Kaduna United on Wednesday afternoon as part of their build-up for the Africa U20 Cup of Nations qualifiers against Burundi, with the game scheduled to start at 1600 hours at the Fifa Goal Project in Abuja.
Allnigeriasoccer.com can exclusively report that a list of 18 players, that is the eleven youngsters that will start the game against the East Africans and seven subs, has been submitted to the Confederation of African Football.
Thus, suggestions in the media that coach Emmanuel Amuneke will call up two more players to join the squad before the qualifiers against Burundi are incorrect.
The former Zamalek and Barcelona winger had already invited defender Lukman Zakari and planned to call up an unnamed player based in the Italian Serie B after he was recommended by his scouting team but later jettisoned the idea.
Burundi will host Nigeria in the first leg of the second round 2017 Africa U-20 Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday, May 21.
