SCORENigeria has scooped the Flying Eagles 25-man squad who will fly out to Morocco on a training tour Monday ahead of the U20 AFCON in Egypt.
Coach Ladan Bosso has made some late changes to the squad with Ibrahim Yahaya and Dominion Ohaka left out, while Benjamin Frederick and Samson Lawal have made their way back to top reckoning.
Lawal, Mohammed Aminu from Gombe United and Jonathan Nicholas of the Moses Simon Academy will now be entrusted with creating things for the team in midfield.
Otherwise, there are no more surprises by Bosso.
The Junior Eagles will drop four players for the final 21-man squad, which will be submitted to CAF at least 10 days before their opening Group A clash against Senegal in Cairo on February 19.
Likely Flying Eagles squad:
Goalkeepers: Nathaniel Nwosu, Chijioke Anigboso, Saheed Akanbi
Defenders: Daniel Bamaiyi, Michael Ologo, Abel Ogwuche, Solomon Agbalaka, Augustine Njoku, Benjamin Frederick
Midfielders: Daniel Daga, Onuche Ogbelu, Hamzat Ojediran, Mohammed Aminu, Jonathan Nicholas, Shatima Umar, Caleb Ochedikwu, Samson Lawal, Bilyaminu Musa
Forwards: Jude Sunday, Francis Ayuba, Adams Olamilekan, Segun Otusanya, Haliru Sarki, Emmanuel Uchegbu, Ibrahim Mohammed ‘Ibeji’
