Chelsea’s Mikel Obi is leading a packed midfield that include new Eagles sensation Joel Obi, Obiora Nwankwo, Kalu Uche, Fegor Ogunde and Nnamdi Oduamadi who plies his trade at AC Milan.<\/p>\n

The competition is expected to be intense in the attack which also has the likes of Peter Utaka,Obinna Nsofor Ahmed Musa and Osaze Odemwegie.<\/p>\n

Explaining why players like Chidi Odiah were drooped from squad, Siasia noted that the team is going throw a rebuilding process requiring the services of a new set of players.<\/p>\n
