Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi,
has insisted that he is ready to
welcome back Osaze Odemwingie
and skipper Joseph Yobo into his
team.
The Big Boss and the players, have
become estranged after they
expressed their anger at their
exclusion from this squad, without
proper communication.
However, after seeing some of his
inexperienced players flop at the
Confederations Cup, the former Togo
boss is eager to have some
experienced faces back.
“They should just be themselves, play
their game,” Keshi told KickOff. “Yobo
is still my captain. It’s unfortunate that
he’s not here, but he’s still the captain
of the team.
“Taiwo is still playing but I have
younger players that are playing well. I
have Juwon, who is not here. I have
Benjamin Francis, and I have Echiejile
whose performance has improved
greatly. So it will be a difficult thing for
Taiwo to get back in.
“For Osaze, he still has a place in the
team. I’m not looking for an apology
from him. Osaze is somebody that I
like very well and he knows that. The
thing is, it’s about the team that I’m
worried about.
“I don’t want to have a player that will
come in and divide the team, or want
to come and do something to
destabilize the team, because when
the team is not together, it becomes
very difficult to win.
“I’m not saying he is going to come in
and do that, but a little bit of what he
has shown has told me that this is
possible.
“I really want to have him in the team,
and I would like to give him another
opportunity.”
Keshi also admitted that Obinna
Nsofor has not featured in his plans
so far, because the forward has
always been injured whenever he
called him up and revealed that
Martins was still in his thoughts.
“The person I am really keen to have
is Obinna Nsofor. Unfortunately, each
time I call him, he’s always injured.
Hopefully next time he will be fit.
“Martins is coming back gradually. The
last two call-ups he wasn’t in good
shape but I needed to play him.”
