INTERNATIONAL DEBUT:

17 Chidi Odiah

When fit and on his game, Odiah can be one of the best full-backs in the world.


Originally a left-footed midfielder, he captained Nigeria's Under-17 team to the Meridian Cup in South Africa, and looked full of promise after his international debut.


But an injury at the 2006 Nations Cup stymied him, and he is on his way to full fitness.


Has loads of European club experience with CSKA Moscow.
