Siasia selects Sokari, Aggrey for Morocco camp

Nigeria’s U-23 team coach, Samson Siasia, has picked 26 home-based players for the pre-Africa U-23 Cup of Nations training camp in Morocco.

The 26 players were picked from the 35 earlier invited to camp and it is dominated by the All-Africa Games bronze-medal winning group.

The list comprises goalkeeper Emmanuel Daniel, defender Segun Oduduwa and midfielders Oghenekaro Etebo, Kingsley Sokari and Daniel Etor.

Also picked are new faces like Anaezemba Nzube, Prince Aggrey, Stanley Dimgba, Kufre Ebong and Bature Yaro.

But old-reliable like Christian Pyagbara, Mustapha Abdullahi and Austine Oladapo failed to make the cut.

The selected players and coaching crew are expected to depart for Morocco where they will be joined by some overseas-based players.

The Dream Team will play Egypt, Algeria and Mali in Group B of the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations taking place in Senegal from November 28 to December 12.
