F/Eagles off to Sudan without Bamgboye

NATIONAL U-20 side, the Flying Eagles,
travelled to Sudan yesterday for the first leg
of their Africa U-20 Cup of Nations final
round qualifying fixture without key forward,
Funsho Bamgboye.
Eighteen players led by head coach
Emmanuel Amuneke and officials of the
Nigeria Football Federation left the Nnamdi
Azikwe Airport, Abuja for Omdurman
yesterday morning for the encounter.
Bamgboye, one of the key players in the
squad, was the only notable star left out of
the squad by coach Amuneke.
Other regular members like goalkeeper
Akpan Udoh, skipper Kelechi Nwakali,
reliable hitman Victor Osimhen and Samuel
Chukwueze were in the travelling party.
The game which was earlier scheduled to
take place today has been postponed to
Sunday on the request of the hosts.
The Flying Eagles who won the last edition
of the competition in Senegal beat Burundi
3-1 on aggregate in the previous round.
They beat City Strikers handled by former
Flying Eagles player Peter Ogaba 2-1 in their
last test game on Tuesday in Abuja.
