Nigeria U-23 Eagles coach, Samson Siasia, has set Wednesday as deadline for Liverpool striker Taiwo Awoniyi, Tottenham Hotspur winger, Nathan Oduwa, skipper Azubuike Okechukwu and other five foreign based professionals for them to resume camp.

The U-23 Eagles are preparing for the Suwon Invitational Tournament  which serves as a preparatory tournament for the 2016 Olympic Games.

Other players that made the roster for the competition in South Korea include Amuzie Stanley, Usman Mohammed, Sodiq Popoola, Saviour Godwin and Saturday Keigo, who arrived in camp on Sunday.

“It is annoying that these boys have not placed the same importance myself and other members of the technical crew have placed on the Olympics,” Samson Siasia told thenff.com.

“I have information that aside one or two players who are involved in their team’s play –off games, the others have arrived the country but have just refused to report to camp.

“If they don’t report to camp on time, how can I work on them to know their level of adaptability to my game plan? It’s frustrating sometimes.”
