Former Super Eagles stars Emmanuel Amuneke, Etim Esin and Azubuike Egwuekwe have called on coach Eric Chelle to exercise caution as foreign-born players continue to dominate Nigerian football, warning of potential risks to the team's development and identity if reliance on overseas-born players persists.
