Nigeria U-20 coach Emmanuel Amuneke has announced that he has cut down his provisional squad for the U-20 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers to 31 players after removing six footballers from the list.
The decision was taken after the Flying Eagles defeated Nigeria National League side, Supreme court 1-0 in a friendly game with Kingsley Michael getting the only game of the encounter via a penalty kick in the 65th minute.
Coach Amuneke thanked the dropped players for their perseverance during the screening exercise and advised them to stay fit as their services may still be needed in the future.
One more player will be dropped next week to reduce the number in camp to thirty. The Flying Eagles have so far played five matches defeating Sia-One Academy 4-1, Dabo Babes 5-0, Ace FC of Kaduna 6-2 and holding Dreams FC to a 0-0 draw.
Nigeria must beat Burundi over two legs to advance to the final round of the qualifiers in July this year.
