Coach Samson Siasia has invited eight members of
the Flying Eagles to the Dream Team camp ahead of
next month’s game against Congo
Nigeria U23 handler Samson Siasia has invited
eight members from Manu Garba’s Flying Eagles to
the Dream Team V1 squad ahead of July’s Africa
U23 Championship.
Congo will attempt to stop the Nigerians from
qualifying from the competition which serves as
qualifier for the football event of the Rio 2016
Olympics.
Topping the list is Manchester City’s Kelechi
Iheanacho who enjoyed a little playing time at the
2015 Fifa U20 World Cup in New Zealand.
Others are captain Musa Muhammed, Taiwo
Awoniyi Kingsley Sokari, Saviour Godwin, Dele
Alampasu, Musa Yahaya and Moses Simon.
The are expected to resume training on Monday
while the foreign based players [Iheanacho, Simon,
Yahaya] will report two weeks to the first leg
scheduled for Abuja.
Meanwhile Siasia has dropped seven players from
his team after their 3-3 draw against Wikki Tourists
because they have not added value to his squad.
"I have given all these players enough time to
showcase what they can bring on the table, but I
am so disappointed that till this minute they still
have not been able to convince me, so they have to
give way for others to come and show me and my
technical crew what they can offer,” Siaone said.
“I thank them for their contribution to the success of
the team in the past, but we have to move on, if
they show signs of improvement in their clubs they
can be recalled back to the team."
The affected players are Sani Faisal, Lukmon
Gilmore, Emmanuel Ammana, Tonbara Tiongoli,
Freedom Omofonma, Uche Okeke and Gabriel
Sunday.

yh sia1 is d man. he is gonna bring out d best in nacho

Siasia ur head dey dere.Marnu garba na mumu.These guys are our future super eagles

Siasia should forget my boy Iheanacho. The lad has pre-season to attend with his club man-city. Do dey want to keep him on the bench again like Manu did? This is d question man-city will ask. I doubt his release. Good luck to the rest.
