Twenty-six of 60 players in the Golden Eaglets camp, including nine of the 11 members of the first team have failed the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) test overseen by the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
According to AfricanFootball.com, the result of the test has thrown the Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) into panic mode ahead of Saturday’s African Cup of Nations (AFCON) Under-17 Championship qualifiers against Niger Republic.
