The U23 team of Nigeria will take on DR Congo tomorrow in the race to be in the next round of the U23 AFCON qualifiers, which serves as the qualifiers for the football event of the 2008 Olympic in Los Angeles.
Nigeria have failed to qualify for the last two editions of the Olympic, and will be treating both legs of the game against DR Congo with utmost respect and it’s why the team is made up of majorly players based abroad.
OwngoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal that Brighton and Hove Albion winger Zadok Yohanna will lead a three man attack against DR Congo tomorrow, alongside the duo of Umar Abdullahi of Czech Republic side Hradec Kralove and Peter Edokpolor of Benfica in Portugal.
Barring a late minute change, the trio are the favourite to start in attack with the team going all out for an outright win ahead of the second leg in Nigeria.
All the invited foreign based players are already in the camp of the team ahead of the game, a huge improvement from previous years where most of them were not released.
