Well,if you are conversant with the Nigerian football league am sure you would be wondering why the likes of Christian Osaguona of Rangers International FC did not make the list.
Here's why ; reports have it that Osaguona was dropped for his poor performance.He's not alone in this as the likes of Ahmed Idris,Ammel Wilfred and Chinedu Udeaga were also dropped from the squad.
Stand-in coach Amokachi said they did not show the level of fitness and intelligence required and were therefore replaced by players who looked sharper than them.
