The president of Nigeria Coaches Association, Ladan Bosso has urged Manu Garba to start the unused players who have not tasted actions in their first two matches at the ongoing 2019 FIFA U17 World Cup in Brazil when they face Australia, BSNSports.com.ng can report.

Giving his thought on the question raised on giving chances to the players who have not been used in their last group game for Nigerians to have a feel of the talents of other players. The former Ifeanyi Ubah FC head coach says resting of regular players in the last group match will help Nigeria go far in the tournament.

Speaking on a popular WhatsApp group NSM, Bosso said:

"Very correct, the Team's performance going forward is a license to gamble in the next match.
Any player that have not played in the first two matches should have a feel in the last group match so that we can have pool of players going into the knock out stage, my thought sha."

Nigeria's Golden Eaglets have picked one of the Round 16 tickets having won their first two group matches. The five-time world champions defeated Hungary 4-2 in their first match and on Tuesday outscored Ecuador 3-2 to maintain their group B top of the table performance.
