Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle will be made to defend his decision to include Owen Oseni who plays in the English third division for Plymouth in the list of players for the Unity Cup, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Oseni has been handed a maiden call up to the team by the coach after scoring seven goals with five assists in the League One. The 23 year old is seen by Chelle as his kind of player due to his physical attributes, running and pressing abilities.
However his inclusion has set him up against some people in the technical department of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF). They are demanding the method he used in identifying a player in that division.
” This is different from Benjamin Fredrick, who was a player of Brentford U23 when he made his debut. Fredrick wasn’t in the initial list, he came in because some players left unlike this case”, a member of the department queried.
” If it works well then we have the answers but if otherwise then we will move to stop such from happening again. This is the senior national team of Nigeria”, he stated.
