Imoh Ezekiel, Amaefule Handed Invitations For Showdown With Brazil

Dream Team VI substantive coach, Samson Siasia, has been forced to make some changes to his roster for the upcoming international friendly against Brazil in Vitoria, Espirito Santo.

Gent newbie Peter Olayinka is still recovering from a ligament injury and will not make the trip to South America, while ex-Torino starlet Sergio Uyi has also pulled out of the squad due to an undisclosed ailment.

Abia Warriors defender Chizoba Amaefule will replace Uyi in the squad and Belgian-based frontman Imoh Ezekiel takes the place of Peter Olayinka.

The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the Confederacao Brasileira de Futebol (CBF) have both confirmed that the friendly match will take place in Brazil on Thursday, March 24.
