Fulham Midfielder Cleared For Nigeria Under-23s

Fulham youngster Chibby Nwoko has reportedly been cleared to play for Nigeria’s under-23s when they face DR Congo in the U23 Africa Cup of Nations this month.

Recall that Nwoko was one of the players who was called up for Nigeria’s friendly game against Russia last month, and he did a decent job in the middle of the park.

Most of the players in that team were expected to be drawn into the Under-23 squad eventually. And Nwoko is one of the few who made the cut, albeit there were fears over his inability to secure his Nigerian passport earlier.

But now, Afrik-Foot understands that he has fulfilled all requirements and will link up with the team in DR Congo ahead of the game on Friday.
