“Out of 25 players we presented, seven of them came out with grade six which is a failure,” a source close to the team said, as quoted by the Graphic Sports.
“Those who failed are very disappointed but there is nothing that can be done about it. The managers are expected to do the next scouting to look for their replacement.”
CAF’s rules stipulate that MRI test results of Under-17 players must not exceed grade five for a player to be able to participate in competitions.
Meanwhile, some of the dropped players will be recommended for the national U-20 team, the Black Satellites.
