As many as ten players based in Europe turned up in the camp of the Nigeria U20 team in Abuja for their second phase of preparation ahead of the U20 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt.
Head coach of the team Ladan Bosso found a way of accommodating the players even though they were not in his original list of players called up for the camping exercise. The invited foreign based players will start arriving the camp by next week.
Not to lose track of what he is doing, Bosso made the uninvited players to train among themselves from where he made a decision on who should not return for further assessment. So far he has dropped six of them.
” I have to let them try out because we haven’t start serious build up. From next week, no player will be allowed to train with us or open to be accessed unless you are part of our initial plan. About ten players came from Europe and six have been told not to return”, Bosso told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
” The idea is to see one if we can get one or two of them who will push the main players in the list for a spot. So far six have survived and if they continue to impress. We will use the elimination by substitution method to bring them in”, he concluded.
