Nigeria might be on the verge of losing a talent who could be a star in the future in Ademola Ola-Adebomi of Crystal Palace, following the decision of Ladan Bosso to exclude him from the list of foreign based players for the U20 World Cup.
Ola-Adebomi was in the camp of the Nigerian team before the U20 Africa Cup of Nations but a mix up over the length of time he is allowed to stay in the camp of the Nigerian team saw him leave the camp after just two training sessions.
It led to his exclusion from the team but he was told he will be considered for the World Cup if the team qualifies for the tournament. They did by finishing third at the AFCON but he wasn’t handed another chance with the team close to leaving for the tournament and the final list set to be made public on the 10th of May.
He appears not to be bothered by the snub with his form for the U23 in the Premier League 2 earning him praises and potentially catching the attention of the England youth team selectors. The 19 year old is the top scorer of the team with 8 goals in 17 games this season.
Former manager or Crystal Palace Patrick Viera handed him his first team bow in the mid season friendly game against Manchester United and from all indications he will be involved with the first team when pre season begins ahead of the start of next season.
