Eletu Will Start Against Italy - Official

By Niyi Busari

AC Milan defensive midfielder, Victor Eletu will be in the starting line up when the Flying Eagles file out against Italy U20 national team on Wednesday, BSNSports.com.ng can report.

Eletu, who joined the team in Argentina six days ago would be in the starting line up according to the team official because he plies his trade in Italy and could be a factor to the much anticipated victory over the Italians.

"Though he was late before joining us in Argentina but he will be in the starting XI on Wednesday against Italy because he knows and understands the Italian football philosophy. His presence will help the team in achieving the much needed three points." The source who pleaded anonymity told www.bsnsports.com.ng.

Italy shocked Brazil 3-2 while Nigeria outscored Dominican Republic 2-1 in group D opener on Sunday. A win for either of the two teams qualifies them for the knock-out stage of the competition.
