The captain of the senior national team of Nigeria Ahmed Musa will join the camp of the Nigerian team for the Africa Nations Championship qualifiers against Ghana, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusive reveal.
Musa was initially excluded from the team on technical ground due to a CAF regulation that bars players with temporary contracts from playing in the tournament meant for players based in the various domestic leagues in Africa.
We can exclusively report that the coaches of the team Daniel Ogunmodede and Fidelis Ilechukwu have succeeded in nullifying that area, and Musa who has taken the Nigerian Premier Football League by storm since returning to Kano Pillars will now be a part of the team when they regroup in December.
Aside Musa, we also gathered that ageless Rabiu Ali has also been added to the mix as a reward for his performances this season. Both players are among the two latest additions to the team ahead of the two legged game in December.
The first leg of the game against Ghana which is the qualifiers for the CHAN tournament is billed for the 22nd of December in Ghana with the second leg to hold six days later in Nigeria.
