As many as five new players will be in the squad of the senior national team of Nigeria for their upcoming friendly games during the international break in March, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Nigeria who finished third at the AFCON will return to action in March, despite doubts on the future of the coach Eric Chelle, who is yet to reach terms on a new deal with one year left to go on his current deal.
Despite the standoff, the coach has already drawn up a possible list of players for the engagements in March with as many as five new players, according to sources.
The five new players have been on the radar of the coach for a while, with some of them considered in the preliminary list before dropping out of the final 28 man list for the tournament.
Aside the new players, some players who didn’t make the team for the AFCON have been handed a return to the team for the games.
