Torino wing-back Ola Aina has pulled out of international duty with Nigeria after sustaining a muscular injury football Italia reports.


However, Toro announced Aina will not be able to attend international duty for Nigeria’s game against the Seychelles on September 8.

It could possibly mean a late call up to NK Gorica of Croatia right full back Musa Mohammed who was placed on standby in the list of players called up for the clash by coach Gernot Rohr.

Aina would have filled into the right back position with ease following injuries to the duo of Tyronne Ebuehi and Shehu Abdullahi. A replacement is expected to be named later today by Rohr.

If u ask me this qualifying series is tougher than the group stage of the U17 WC.

I don't know how WAFU came to accept this devilish arrangement.

How can Nigeria and Ghana, two World giants at this stage have to now be battling for one spot amongst other descent sides like CIV and Burkina Faso. This is devilish.

So who are those that will play the African qualifiers from other zones? Likes of Malawi, Tanzania, South Africa and the likes? Nonsense!

AIG07:
Our U-17 team just lost their first group game in the first regional tournament (WAFU-U17) that will serve as qualifier to 2019 U-17 World Cup. The eventual winner takes the sole spot for the Region.

Hmmm... I can only blame the West African FAs who agreed to this new mode of QUALIFICATION. The Southern Africa have done well to secure a spot for themselves.... What a smart move through the new CAF president.

Imagine CIV, Nigeria, Ghana, BK, Guinea, Mali all vying for one spot. E Don cast for us be that.

Countries like Namibia, South Africa, Madagascar etc will be the ones reping the South. Sincerely yours, SA will be forming boss there.

Make de sha not try am for the Senior World Cup. Cos who knows, they may be planning something underneath... If they try this rubbish thinking they want to emulate the Europeans who now play a form of European Nations League which is also regionised then.... Your guess is as good as mine.

We all hope against all hope that our U-17 team will scale through.

Bookmark this...what you see now...is what you will see in senior qualifications

tbaba1234:


Bad news.. Anyway, we should beat Seychelles even with a home based team.

gamaliel9:



Thats the price that was paid for Issa Hayatou to be defeated...very strange deals ie reformating the qualification to give the regions more chance in world cup qualifiers....more shocking groupings are coming

safarigirl:
it doesn't matter what they do. Whichever team that qualifies from Southern and Northern Africa will still crash and burn to West Africa

Basco will second that. I second that too.

JoebieII:
If we get our house in order we will almost always qualify for the World Cup regardless. But, yes, Africa's best talents are in West Africa. The region deserves more slots. The regions should get more slots commensurate with our contribution at the world stage for the last past decade at least.

Just In: Iwobi, Aina and Ekong are out of Seychelles game due to injuries. Only Henry Onyekuru is in camp at the moment, we expect others early tomorrow.

Mali, Guinea, Senegal and co will battle for the other WAFU ticket.

This is a tournament that most times all the 4 African tickets are taken by teams from West Africa. Countries like Nigeria, Ghana, Mali, CIV, B.Faso, and Guinea have been known to produce the best teams from Africa at this age level.

Now the useless CAF has limited the number of ticket from WA to African U17 to 2.

This is a big scam and totally unacceptable. They are trying to favor countries for South and East Africa at the detriment of producing quality teams to represent Africa. What a shame.

Joebie:
Those players that failed the MRI should be considered for selection in the Flying Eagles.

forgiveness:


The bolded is the Koko. There will be payment. That's all.

gamaliel9:



Good point..but i fear that previous experiments with such transitions always failed for us....u21 stage needs certain maturity..experience...yes experience...and a lot of grit...if you watched all our games so far in this age group...you will notice that the ones we went far were not really through transition....but a combination of experience...grit...etc Not that we cannot get one or two players to transit...its ok...the last debacle is still fresh

Danielnino00:
Are there any replacements lineup up for Ekong,Iwobi and Aina?


I would suggest
Ekong- Seth
Iwobi - Bonaventure/Success
Aina- Muhammed
