Hundreds of aspiring hopefuls were left disappointed at the Golden Eaglets first training in Abuja after they were sent away without getting the chance to try out with the national U17s.
Officials told SCORENigeria that with the short time to prepare for the U17 AFCON qualifiers in Ghana, coach Manu Garba is fully focused on working only with the 51 players he invited.
It was further learnt that most of the invited players have already done the mandatory MRI age test and are therefore eligible to feature at the WAFU B U17 AFCON qualifiers in Ghana from May 15.
Coach Manu was assisted by the team co-ordinator for the two training sessions on the first day of training camp Thursday.
It is expected that the newly constituted backroom staff will also soon be in place.
Nigeria are the defending WAFU B U17 champions after they beat Burkina Faso in the championship game in Cape Coast, Ghana, two years ago.
