Coach Samson Siasia plans a massive overhaul of Nigeria U-23s less than two months to the Rio Olympics going by the several new faces who attended the US visa interview ahead of a training camp in Atlanta.

Nigeria internationals Kingsley Madu, Moses Simon, Daniel Akpeyi and Wilfred Ndidi are set to force their way to the Dream Team VI after they did not feature for them in the qualifiers.

All these players were at the US embassy in connection with visas for the training camp, which begins on June 29 in Atlanta.

Shehu Abdullahi, Stanley Amuzie, Musa Mohammed and Godwin Saviour are also slated for the training camp after they played in the qualifiers for the U23 AFCON. Add these to two designated over-aged stars, Chelsea star Mikel Obi and Watford striker Odion Ighalo makes it quite a different team to the one Siasia lined up to win the U23 AFCON in Senegal in December.
