Head coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle has handed a first time call up to young Brentford defender Benjamin Fredrick, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Fredrick who was recently voted the best player in the Brentford U21 was a part of the Ladan Bosso led U-20 team of two years ago, who were knocked out of the World Cup in the quarter final by South Korea.
He turned 20 yesterday and today received the call to join the Super Eagles in training ahead of their final game of the ongoing Unity Cup in England taking place at the home ground of his team Brentford.
We can exclusively reveal that he was drafted in as a replacement for Chrisantus Uche of Getafe, who didn’t honor the call up to be a part of the team for the first time for reasons not yet known.
