Head coach of the U-23 team, Samson Siasia, has admitted that he does not know which players to select as he prepares for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.
Last week, the former Super Eagles handler was frustrated as clubs demanded for their players to return.
However, the story has changed this week and he is faced with the task of picking 30 players for a training camp in Morocco, ahead of the tournament in Senegal.
All 35 home-based players had reported to camp by Tuesday night.
Expressing satisfaction with the players in camp, an elated Siasia said: “For now, all I can say is that I am very happy with what I have seen as the players came back from their club engagements fully refreshed and ready to do the nation proud. The NFF has also responded positively to my cry for the release of these players so we can prepare properly for the big task of picking one of Africa’s tickets for the football event of next year’s Olympics in Rio de Janeiro.
“I must confess that selecting the 30 players who will be departing the shores of this country for Morocco is giving myself and my assistants real headache, but this is a positive headache which at the end of the day will enable us select only the best that will fly the nation’s flag with gusto.”
