A final batch of six players passed the MRI scan before the Nigeria U17 team jetted out of the country on a training tour ahead of the U17 World Cup.

The players were considered to be “on the borderline”, but they all came out with flying colours at the Abuja National Hospital to give the Golden Eaglets are a massive boost ahead of the World Cup in the United Arab Emirates.

A squad of 25 players and 10 officials departed Nigeria for Dubai on Monday.

The Golden Eaglets have since resumed training.
