Manu May Replace Iheanacho With Yahaya against Korea
Posted by Lolade on Wed 03rd Jun, 2015 - tori.ngFlying Eagles Coach, Manu Garba, who is under pressure to defeat Korea DPR on Thursday, June 4, may axe Kelechi Iheanacho and Isaac Success from the starting line up.
Indications have emerged that Flying Eagles Head Coach, Manu Garba, who is under pressure to defeat Korea DPR on Thursday, June 4, may axe Kelechi Iheanacho and Isaac Success from the starting line up.
Garba is doing his best to ensure that Nigeria qualifies at the group stage of the 2015 FIFA Under-20 World Cup.
According to the Media Officer of the team, Samm Audu, Manu is not likely to risk starting
injured Ifeanyi Matthew as the African champions go for broke against a team, who crashed 5-1 to Hungary in their opening group game in New Zealand.
“Bernard Bulbwa may now be considered ahead of Success to partner Taiwo Awoniyi in attack, while Enyimba star Kingsley Sokari is most likely to be picked ahead of Iheanacho as the free agent in midfield.
“Defensive midfielder Akinjide Idowu could well take the place of Ifeanyi Matthew, who is nursing a foot injury from the Brazil showdown.
“Idowu is expected to bring his untiring marking prowess into the midfield, which was sorely missing in the Brazil match,” Audu said.
Manu is expected to keep faith with first-choice goalkeeper, Joshua Enaholo, despite his howlers gifted Brazil victory on Monday.
