Enyeama: Yobo Will Lift The Trophy If… by loabb2(m): 1:28am On Feb 08, 2013
Nigeria goalkeeper and vice-captain Vincent Enyeama has promised to let team captain Joseph Yobo lift the trophy if the Super Eagles win the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations final on Sunday.

Yobo has not been serious involved on the field since the centre-back partnership of Godfrey Oboabona and Kenneth Omeruo profited from his injury. And parallels have been drawn to 1994 when on-field captain Austin Eguavoen allowed team captain Stephen Keshi lift the trophy in Tunisia.

“You shouldn’t even be asking the question,” Enyeama said last night when asked if he would let Yobo lift the trophy.

“It is not even contestable. Joe (Yobo) is our captain and our leader. I’m just standing in for him. He has led us in a fantastic way even if he’s not bee playing.

“I’m just the stand-in captain and it is Joe who deserves that honour, not me.”

Meanwhile,Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi has said that he will be anxiously waiting for results of tests on Emmanuel Emenike and Victor Moses after both limped out of last night’s Africa Cup of Nations semi-final victory over Mali here in Durban.

Both players played key roles in the 4-0 win but they could not complete the game due to knocks.

“We’ll know about it tomorrow (today). They’ll have scans and be tested by the doctors tomorrow,” Keshi said moments after the match. “Hopefully, they the injuries are not bad because we need every player to be fit for the final.”
