Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle says the list of players who will prosecute the Unity Cup in May will be largely made up of players from unheralded leagues in Europe , and also players from the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL).
Chelle confirmed OwnGoalNigeria.com exclusive two days ago saying fringe players of the team will also be given the opportunity to work their way into his long term plans in the tournament, that will take place in London.
Nigeria will defend her title at the tournament with their opening game against Zimbabwe, where they will be hoping for a spot in the final against the winner of the other game between India and Jamaica.
We can exclusively reveal that as many as six players from teams in the NPFL will make the list, and not the ten that has been mooted in some quarters.
Sources close to the coach say he will watch the games either online or live to pick the players, rather than rely on recommendations like he did in the past.
