In what could be yet another topical
discussion in Nigerian football, out of contract
Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has
effectively ruled out the chances of having
Seattle Sounders of America striker, Obafemi
Martins and Manchester City wonder kid
Kelechi Iheanacho called up to the Eagles in
the nearest future.
There have been calls from different quarters
for the inclusion of the 17-year-old prodigy
(Iheanacho), who shone brightly at the last
FIFA U17 World Cup in the United Arab
Emirates, to the Super Eagles, but Keshi, whose
future with the team remains uncertain at the
moment, has killed whatever hopes Nigerians
had of seeing Iheanacho in the next qualifiers
for the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.
“Iheanacho hasn’t been playing in the premier
league and it simply tells you that Manchester
City wants him to get more experience,” said
Keshi.
“He is not part of the team (City) at the
moment and he has to get more experience
and maybe see if he has what it takes to be
there.”
According to Keshi, Martins’ desire to return to
the Super Eagles is admirable, but not possible
because according to him, the former Inter
Milan striker has got to give a chance to the
younger players. “For Obafemi Martins, it’s
good to indicate interest to play for his
country, as a former player of course.
“But we have other players out there in his
position, younger players. So we have to give
younger players a chance and the opportunity
to grow,” Keshi insisted.
This will come as a big shock to Martins, who
hasn’t hidden his desire to return to the team
and had earlier said he hoped his good goal
scoring form will earn him a recall.
However, Keshi has obviously ended the
chance of any of that happening, if he remains
in charge.
