Golden Eaglets striker Isaac Success has been passed fit for today’s U17 World Cup final between Nigeria and Mexico.

Success has been sidelined for four games after picking up a hamstring injury in the game against Sweden during the group phase of the tournament.

However, head Coach Manu Garba has confirmed that his striker has been declared fit for the finals.

”Success is fit for the final. But we have resolved not to rush him. So he would be starting from the bench in the finals,” he disclosed.

Udinese-bound Success was top scorer at the African Junior Championship in Morocco earlier this year.

The highly-rated striker has scored twice at the U-17 World Cup.
