Nigeria plays Mali on
January 11 in Cape Town in
the first match of CHAN 2014
in South Africa. However, the
decision on who will
represent the nation at the tournament has just
been made.
According to MTNFootball.com, the Super Eagles
handlers have dropped injured Gambo Mohammed
and Yinka Adedeji from participating in CHAN.
Both players have since left the Eagles' training
camp.
The highly-rated Pillars star Gambo, who featured
for Nigeria at the 2013 FIFA Confederations Cup in
Brazil, has been nursing a hamstring injury, which
has kept him by the sidelines since the Eagles
resumed training for CHAN earlier this month.
Adedeji also suffered a hamstring injury at the
weekend.
Golden Eaglets goalkeeper Dele Alampasu is also
set to be in South Africa as third-choice
goalkeeper after FC Taraba goalkeeper Ibrahim
Pius was axed, but his Eaglet teammate Taiwo
Awoniyi did not make the final cut.
A new Enyimba signing Mfom Udoh, who was a
late call-up to the Eagles after his goals for Akwa
United last season, was also dropped.

Goalkeepers: Chigozie Agbim (Enugu Rangers),
