The quintet of Chinedu Obasi, Haruna Lukman,
Kelechi Iheanacho, Obafemi Martins and
Ikechukwu Uche are set to be invited for the
Super Eagles' last qualifying matches for the 2015
Africa Cup of Nations against Congo and South
Africa, SL10.ng have been reliably informed.
The aforementioned players couldn't get into
Stephen Keshi's teams despite their impressive
performances for their respective clubs and
despite incessant calls to have them included but
it seems all five of them will be a part of the
team that will announced by interim coach,
Amodu Shuaibu for the November fixtures.
A list of 24 players is expected to be announced
before the end of October and sources have
reliably informed SL10.ng that there will be some
changes to the teams Nigerians have been used
to under Keshi.
"Most of the players from Keshi's team will still
be there but the likes of Haruna, Obasi,
Iheanacho, Martins and Uche will be included
provided they aren't injured before the final list is
compiled," a reliable NFF source told SL10.ng.
If eventually these players are invited, it will
sound like a good music to the ears of most
Nigerians as they have always clamoured for the
invitation of such players.
The Super Eagles are third in qualifying group A
with four points in as many games, and play
Congo and South Africa in their last matches, with
Amodu Shuaibu in-charge on an interim basis
after Stephen Keshi was asked to step down from
his interim role.
Keshi has had a running battle with Villarreal
striker Ikechukwu Uche hence his continued
absence from the Eagles under Keshi, his last
appearance being the final of the 2013 Africa Cup
of Nations in South Africa.
The 'Big Boss' alluded to Obafemi Martins as
being too old, while also alluding to Kelechi
Iheanacho as being too young.
Chinedu Obasi was invited a couple of times but
never made the team due to injuries and passport
issues, while Haruna Lukman was never given a
look in by the 'Big Boss'.

Too old too old na waw for Keshi o

When Nigerians unite to fight a common enemy the result is always positive. Same with Ebola, same with Boko haram and same with Keshi.

if nothing is done about that mid field I.e. removing Mikel, the inclusion of Martin, ike, etc will be useless

source please.. An anticipated event if 4 real

Im waiting to see d coach dat'll be bold enough to strip mikel of his first team shirt in dat team. Dat coach will be d moses of our time.

keshi was neva an enemy. These players were just not in his plans for reasons best known to him. I'm happy we will be seeing them God willing in our subsequent matches.

Those calling for d head of Mikel shud tink twice.
Becos wen d cheaps were down in Confederation Cup, we so d best of Mikel inincluding Afcon 2010. Wt good players around him, he wil deliver. Keshi made mistake by dropping Mba from d Squad. Haruna, Martis nd Kelechi wil make sense to d team

So because he performed in confederation cup , he Sud start even if he has lost form. Confederation cup of over a yr ago. Naija sef

The beginning of good for Nigerian football was sacking keshi, next is inviting our present best legs, viz uche, n iheanacho. As for martins I personally think he's performing bc he's playing in a league that's not as strong as d EPL, laliga etc. That said, qualification is possible under AMODU. Thank God keshi was sacked!

I ayaf hear... I will comment when the list is out and the aforementioned players by op are included.

keshi was a good coach
but i cant understand why he denied

lukeman all the chance to show is stuff at the midfield
and red hot obafemi from scoring abi na Ike uche...

thank God o....dancing shoki

One word "End Time Tinz" [ETT]

The only good news is young promising player iheanacho invitation,others nothing to celebrate bcs they are bunch of average players like others.

Are you now saying Mikel is d major problem in d Super Eagle.Pls we need your analytical view on why Mikel is d issue bcs saying with Mikel, martins and others would be render useless is something sensitive to our qualifications.pls i will like to hear from you.

OK, until then.

chei Keshi don become Nigeria's enemy??

it is Kalu Uche that we need...that guy controls d midfield... imagine him and Onazi working together....

Even the much talked about rudd gullit won't make d kind of radical changes dis frog will make

You seem to be expecting too much from Mikel. Mikel is an ordinary player not a super star n that's how he performs in d super eagles -ordinary. AMODU will not drop Mikel, he'll rather sub Nosa n Onazi.

chei, see headline, Iheanacho sets for eagles return.

Welcome news if true......
