WYC: Garba sets to Unveil Flying Eagles Squad

 

                 Flying Eagles’ coach, Manu Garba, will later on Friday announce his final 21-man squad for this month’s FIFA U-20 World Cup in New Zealand.
                 At least nine players will be cut from the 30-man preliminary squad, sl10.ng reports.
                 The team will continue its build up for the tournament with a match against Nurnberg U-23 at the Sudwest Park on Friday.

                
The African champions’ final test match is against Freiburg U-23 team on May 19.
The team will fly out to New Zealand via Australia from Germany on May 23. Nigeria plays in Group E alongside Brazil, Hungary and South Korea.
The Flying Eagles will start its campaign against five-time World champions Brazil on June 1.
Garba will most likely include in-form striker Taiwo Awoniyi in his list, while also including Joshua Enaholo, Musa Muhammed, Kelechi Iheanacho, Idowu Akinjide, Mustapha Abdullahi, Onyinye Ndidi, Dele Alampasu and Ifeanyi Matthew.
“It’s going to be tough to select the final 21 players,” a top official of the team told sl10.ng
“Majority of the players in camp helped us during the qualifiers and none of them wants to remain behind.
