“We will definitely make the list (of invited overseas based
players) public today or tomorrow,” Olajire said, “We just have to receive a
confirmation from the coach and after that we will make it public,” he added.
Following his declaration during his unveiling that he will
not invite players who play in lower divisions or ‘non-credible leagues’,
expectations for his team list has been high.
Meanwhile, unconfirmed reports has it that Manchester City
of England youngster, Kelechi Iheanacho, may make the list of invited overseas
based players for the game against Tanzania.

their pre-season run of Australia, scoring twice and making two assists, but is

He has however made the substitutes’ bench in City’s two
games this season against West Brom and Chelsea.
