Chelle invites two players to Super Eagles squad for Unity Cup

65

Super Eagles head coach Éric Chelle has added two more players, Yira Collins Sor and Tijani Al-Ameen, to Nigeria’s squad for the upcoming Unity Cup tournament.

Sor, who plays for Belgian side KRC Genk, was previously included in the Super Eagles squad for the March international friendlies against Iran and Jordan.

The winger made his senior debut for Nigeria during the 2-2 draw against Jordan.

Al-Ameen, a defender with Shooting Stars, earned his call-up following a string of impressive performances in the Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) this season.

Chelle had earlier unveiled a 27-man squad for the invitational competition on Wednesday.

However, AIK winger Zadok Yohanna will miss the tournament after his Swedish club declined to release him for international duty.

The Super Eagles coach is expected to leave Abuja for London on Friday morning alongside the home-based players and members of his technical crew.

Nigeria will take on Zimbabwe’s Warriors in the semi-final at The Valley next Tuesday.

The winner of the clash will face either India or Jamaica in the final scheduled for Saturday, May 30.
