Coach Emmanuel Amuneke said it was
imperative that newly recruited fledgling players be exposed to the
demands of top level matches ahead of the FIFA U-17 World Cup in Chile.
In strong contention for the trip to
the Far East are the likes of captain Kelechi Nwakali, goalkeeper Akpan
Udoh, striker Victor Osimhen and defender Abass Usman from the squad
that secured the ticket to Chile at the CAN U-17 Championship in Niger
in March.
New players like defender Ejike Ikwu, midfielder Gavi Opeoluwa
and striker Odufeso Babatunde may also be considered.
The 4-Nation tournament will be played on a round-robin basis amongst host Korea, Nigeria, Brazil and USA between June 10 and 14.
