[b][size=14pt]Flying Eagles Stress About Injured Yahaya[/size]



The Flying Eagles are sweating on the fitness of star forward Musa Yahaya, who is nursing a knee injury he suffered in a warm-up match in Ghana.

The former Golden Eaglet is expected to undergo a scan to determine the extent of the injury he suffered when he was tackled in the Flying Eagles second friendly against Ghana on Wednesday.

The injury forced him out of the match in the 39th minute.

Tottenham starlet, Yahaya, who scored in the Flying Eagles first match against the Black Satellites, did not join the rest of the squad at the gym at the FIFA Goal Project in Abuja Friday morning.

The other injury worry for the Nigeria U20 team is central defender Zaharadeen Bello.

Bello has been nursing a calf injury and as a result he did not feature in the second friendly against Ghana in Tema, which the Flying Eagles won 2-0.

“We will review their cases and see what can be done promptly,” disclosed Flying Eagles doctor Ozi Salami.

IHEANACHO TO GATE CRASH AYC FINAL SQUAD?


AfricanFootball.com can exclusively report today that Manchester City have launched a last-minute frantic move to get starlet Kelechi Iheanacho on Nigeria final squad for next month’s African Youth Championship.

After first saying the player will be unavailable for the AYC in Senegal due to injury, English Premier League champions City have now made a dramatic u-turn, saying Iheanacho could be released to join the Flying Eagles for Senegal 2015 as he has fully recovered ahead of a mid-March time frame earlier set by the EPL club.

The 18-year-old player himself has called up coach Manu Garba to inform him he has recovered from a long-term ankle injury, while expressing his willingness to feature at the AYC.

The MVP for the 2013 FIFA U17 World Cup, who followed the team’s recent warm-up matches in Ghana via telephone, told Manu he will even play a match for City reserves on Tuesday.

A source further said: “The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) are expected to liase with the medical staff of City to determine the extent of Kelechi’s recovery after which a final decision will be taken on this issue.”

The NFF have till Thursday midnight to submit to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) a final 21-man squad for the AYC.

I hope Iheanacho joins his U20 Eagles team mates and blend fast with the squad.

FLY EAGLES FLY.

Iheanacho playing for the U20 National team will be a boost to his image and brand than him playing in the Manchester City reserves. I feel it is time for Man City coaches to give Nacho the chance to join his National team mates.

The AYC is a top FIFA tournament. Holding on to Nacho will not be beneficial to Man City in the long run.

I think it's risky. It might backfire. We should allow the boy recuperate. The U-20 World Cup is the real deal.

[b][size=14pt]Spurs Wonderkid Musa Yahaya To Miss AYC[/size]



SL10.ng can exclusively report that Tottenham Hotspur youth - teamer Musa Yahaya will miss next month's African Youth Championship due to injury.

The Mutunchi Academy product sustained a knee injury last week as the Nigeria Under 20s defeated their Ghanaian counterparts 2 - 0 in a pre - African Youth Championship friendly.

Musa Yahaya has had a scan to ascertain the damage, and national team medics have disclosed that he will be spending the next six weeks on the sidelines.

''Musa Yahaya will be out of action for six weeks, and will not be traveling with the Flying Eagles for the African Youth Championship,'' a source close to the 17 year old told SL10.ng.

''The injury is a little bit serious. In the friendly against Ghana, he got a knock on his knee. He is still in camp now but will soon return to Tottenham Hotspur to undergo further treatment.''

Musa Yahaya is disappointed that he will not feature at the AYC, but he's praying fervently for the Flying Eagles to qualify for this summer's Fifa Under 20 World Cup.

''Musa feels bad because he wanted to be in the squad, but he has taken it in good faith.

''He is praying that they qualify for the World Cup so he can be part of the team again, ‘he added.

Musa Yahaya was one of the standout players at the 2013 Fifa Under 17 World Cup, scoring 4 goals in 7 games.[/b]

[b][size=14pt]Iheanacho Injured Again[/size]

Nacho like he is fondly called has been tipped to gate crash into the Nigeria team, preparing for next month’s Africa Youth Championship, after making a remarkable recovery from an injury that was expected to keep him out of the tournament.

His participation at the tournament is looking a little doubtful, even though there is no report of how long he is expected to be out of action, but it appears to be a re occurrence of the same injury he has just recovered from.

If ruled out of the tournament, his absence will come as a setback to both Coach Manu Garba of the Nigeria Under-20, who was hoping he will make up for the injury enforced absence off Tottenham Hotspurs, Musa Yahaya.


It will also be a blow to Manchester City aspiration of landing him a work permit as they were hoping a strong showing at the youth championship, will solidify their claims to the home office to grant him a permit using the special talent rule.


Manchester City who were 1-0 up conceded a late goal after Iheanacho departure, but still hung on to win the last 16 tie on penalties winning 3-1.[/b]

I am not up there with Pellegrini when it comes to understanding the technicality of retaining but the Man City training seems tedious and hard. Even into the main squad, a lot of players injure regularly like Nasri, Silva, Jovetic, Dzeko, Fernando, Fernandinho, Kompany etc.

I think Pellegrini can maintain his hard workouts but reduce the number of times. Even Nwakali just recovered from an injury.

Speedy Recovery Nacho.

safarigirl:
I find it funny that you always justify everything man city does concerning Kelechi even when it's obviously not the right thing

I mean, there's always some reason why it's for 'the best'....I mean, decisions you would probably have stroked Mourinho for if Kelechi was in Chelsea. It's really funny

It seems you did not get my point.

Man City has one of the best recuperation facility in World football today. The technology used cost a lot of money. For instance, there is this swimming pool work out equipment they use which cause the bones to heel fast.

Look at the quick recovery of Nasri and Aguero which were almost two months before the estimated return from their injuries.

So what I am critical about it is the training after that. I feel our workout sessions is too hard and that is why players are injuring.

I feel Man City should reduce the tediousness of our workout. That is why I said Nacho should be called to the U20 squad because the training he will go through at Man City will be more tedious than that under Manu Garba's camp. So I do not know how my points defend Man City. I was even being critical.
