GOLDEN Eaglets’ Head Coach, Manu Garba
(OON), has for the umpteenth time warned impostors to steer clear of
the Nigeria U-17 camp, even as he commended his wards for keeping their
record intact after five trial matches.
The 2013 World Cup-winning coach said his magnanimity must not be misconstrued following spurious reports in the social media that he has extended invitations to some foreign-based Nigerian youngsters, including a certain goalkeeper Edward Onaiwu allegedly attached to English club Charlton Athletic.
“I have not invited anybody from outside Nigeria for our screening and assessment,” Garba told thenff.com. “Of course, I allowed some of the boys who came without invitation to train with us after repeated appeals by their parents and guardians about their desire to play for Nigeria. But none of them has the quality we are looking for and they are not in our plans and henceforth, we are not going to allow any uninvited player to train with us,” he affirmed.
Meanwhile, the Golden Eaglets over the weekend played two friendly matches at the NFF\ FIFA Goal Project pitch in Abuja as part of their preparations towards next month’s CAF U-17 qualifying matches against Niger Republic.
