Coach of the home based team of Nigeria Salisu Yusuf has listed 20 players for their upcoming qualifiers against Benin Republic this weekend in the CHAN Qualifiers.
The team is expected to travel by road to Benin Republic today.

Goalkeeper Okemuite Odah, Austin Oladapo, Chinedu Ajanah, Prince Aggreh, Emeka Atuloma, Jamiu Alimi and Chiamaka Madu were the others axed by coach Salisu Yusuf.

"Eagles' should be aware of their antics, they can at worst force a draw in Cotonou and finish the job in Kano later. Yes, we have qualities that can do the country proud and l charge them to utilize any chance that come their way." The Wydad Casablanca of Morocco striker spoke ahead of the game at the Stade La'Amitie.
