FORMER Falconets coach, Dan Evumena has charged Flamingoes coach, Peter Dedevbo not to alter his squad against Kenya in Abeokuta.

Flamingoes will host Kenya at the MKO Abiola Stadium, Abeokuta on Saturday in the second leg of African qualifiers for the 2012 Fifa Under17 World Cup.

Nigeria won the first leg 2-0 in Kenya a fortnight ago amidst claim by the East Africans that the Nigerians were over-aged.

Evumena told SuperSport.com that the coach should not change the squad so as not to boost the claims of the Kenyans.

"I will advice the coach to repeat the same squad he used against Kenya in Nairobi in Abeokuta.

"I pray the players will be fit for the game on Saturday.

"Any attempt to alter the squad will appear to give credence to Kenya's claim that we featured over-aged players in the first leg.

"As far as I am concerned Kenya's argument is baseless, if they have case, let them table it before CAF or FIFA."

Though the technical adviser of Delta Queens believes the Abeokuta battle is a formality, as he still wants the team not to lower its guard against the visitors.

"It's a mere formality but they should not relax with the 2-0 victory.

"I know they are prepared with top friendlies played, I have confidence our team will win convincingly," he said.
