Seven Flying Eagles players invited to U-23 camp

Coach of the Nigerian U-23 side Samson Siasia has included eight players from the flying eagles squad into he's squad for the U-23 Championship/Olympic qualifier against Congo in July, and also dropped seven players from the teams camp after the 3-3 draw with Wikki Tourists of Bauchi the NFF stated in a Press release today.
The Flying Eagles players called up include Taiwo Awoniyi, Kelechi Iheanacho, Musa Yahaya and Kingsley Sokari. Others are Dele Alampasu, Moses Simon, Musa Muhammed and Saviour Godwin. All eight players were in New Zealand for the FIFA U-20 World Cup, where the team underachieved.
Siasia explained that he dropped the other seven players because of their performance against Wikki.
“I have given all these players enough time to showcase what they can bring on the table, but I am so disappointed that till this minute they still have not been able to convince me, so they have to give way for others to come and show me and my technical crew what they can offer,” the former Super Eagles star and coach said. “I thank them for their contribution to the success of the team in the past, but we have to move on, if they show signs of improvement in their clubs they can be recalled back to the team.”
