FIFA U-20 W/Cup: Manu lists Iheanacho, Success in W/Cup squad


Flying Eagles coach, Manu Garba, is set to hand recalls to Manchester City forward Kelechi Iheanacho and Tottenham Hotspur trainee Musa Yahaya when he announces his provisional World Cup roster today.
Manchester City loanee Chidiebere Nwakali, who played alongside the offensive-minded pair during the 2013 FIFA Under 17s, will also be called up for a training camp ahead of the tournament in New Zealand.
While Iheanacho and Yahaya missed the trip to Senegal for the African Youth Championship on account of injury, Chidiebere Nwakali was unavailable because he was finalizing his loan move to Malaga during the team’s training camp.
