Brown Ideye and others left out of the list for the international friendly
against Senegal and Burkina Faso, are still part of the Eagles squad.

the warm up games to assess the ability of some of the players, especially the
debutants.

coaches will pick the players based on their performance in training.

coach has declared that every player must fight for a place in the team. There
is no place for players that are not committed in the team. There is no
automatic shirt for any player,” Ibetoye stated.
