Nigeria head coach Èric Chelle selects Brighton forward Zadok Yohanna and Molde FC midfielder Daniel Daga in a 23-man roster for U-23 Olympic football qualifying matches against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Across the outlets, the selection is presented as part of Nigeria’s home-and-away AFCON-style Olympic qualification campaign. Vanguard and The Punch both centre on the inclusion of Yohanna and Daga, describing them as part of Chelle’s 23-man list for the DR Congo clash. Premium Times also includes these two players in the squad framing, adding additional detail about departures and the first leg location.
Premium Times states that seven squad members playing club football in Nigeria leave the country on Tuesday ahead of a first-leg match scheduled for Friday, 13 November at Stade TP Mazembe in Lubumbashi. The other reports provided here focus more on the fact of the roster selection and the opponents, with less emphasis on match logistics in their summaries.
