Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has handed late invitations to Yira Sor and Tijani Al-Ameen ahead of the Unity Cup tournament in London.

Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle has handed late Unity Cup invitations to Yira Sor and Tijani Al-Ameen following a last-minute squad setback.
The late additions come after Swedish club AIK officially ruled teenage winger Zadok Yohanna out of Nigeria’s squad.
AIK confirmed that the 18-year-old remains in rehabilitation following injury and will not be released for the tournament, with the club also citing sporting reasons behind the decision.

Zadok had been one of the most exciting new names in Chelle’s experimental squad after impressing in Sweden this season.
With the Unity Cup taking place outside FIFA’s official international calendar, clubs are not obligated to release players, forcing Nigeria into late squad adjustments.
Nigeria will face Zimbabwe in the Unity Cup semi-final in London later this month.
