Coach of the U20 team of Nigeria Paul Aigbogun has submitted a list of 30 players to the Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) ahead of Nigeria’s participation at next month U20 Africa Cup of Nations.
Players who were not listed by the coach were asked to vacate the camp of the team to allow for concentration as the date for the African Championship scheduled to take place in Niger Republic draws near.
Although the list will not be made public by the Nigeria Football Federation ( NFF) , players affected by the purge were seen leaving the hotel of the team before the start of training on Friday.
