Nigeria U23s Coach Sweating On The Fitness Of Defender Ahead Of Trip To South Korea

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Nigeria U23s coach Samson Siasia is sweating on the fitness of Abia Warriors defender Chizoba Amaefule ahead of his side’s trip to South Korea for a four-nation tournament.

A source that witnessed the Dream Team’s training sessions noticed that the stopper only resumed training five days ago after picking up a leg injury during one of the workouts.

The national team handlers have not totally ruled him out of the tournament and will continue to monitor his fitness in the coming days before announcing the squad that will be on the plane to Asia.

The 21-year-old Chizoba Amaefule was part of the squad that shocked the Brazilians in their own backyard in their last fixture.

He represented the Dream Team VI at the 2015 Africa U23 Cup of Nations.
