Seven players of Nigerian descent are billed to feature for England in the Under-20 FIFA World Cup in Korea Republic this year.
It is no longer news that Nigerian players will be missing at the global tournament due to their failure to qualify from Africa.
Among the players to look out for when the tournament kicks off are Chelsea trio Fikayo Tomori, Dominic Solanke and Tammy Abraham, Liverpool duo Ovie Ejaria and Sheyi Ojo, Tottenham Hotspur starlet Josh Onomah and Everton wonderkid Ademola Lookman are eligible to represent the Young Lions.
Paul Simpson’s side have been drawn against African team Guinea, South Korea and South American powerhouse Argentina in Group A of the FIFA Under-20 World Cup.
England play their first game in the tourney against Argentina at Jeonju World Cup Stadium, Jeonju on May 20 and wrap up group play six days later against the hosts.
