The news that first team members of Golden Eaglets failed MRI test is not correct. The team is intact.
Abuja football fans that have been watching the training sessions of the team and their friendly games can attest to this.

Please if you live in Abuja, feel free to come and watch the Eaglets train at the FIFA Goal Project, Abuja stadium. You can find out.
The MRI test conducted by the NFF found few players on grade 5 and these players are out.

The pass grade is from grades 1 – 5, but the policy of NFF is that players on grade 5 will not be taken to the competition venue because they may fall into grade 6 when CAF conduct their own MRI test due to the fact that the borderline between grade 5 and 6 is very little.
In order to avoid that risk, the NFF insists that only players from grade 1 – 4 will represent Nigeria at the International tournament.
The team played another friendly game today and defeated Turbo touch academy 2-0.
