Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi has debunked reports that he
has closed the national team doors to Villareal of Spain striker,
Ikechukwu Uche permanently.
Keshi said before the team departed for Sudan that what he said was that
he will not beg Uche to play for Nigeria, especially when there are
other players who are willing and ready at all times to play for the
Super Eagles.
“I don’t know where they got that portion of their reports from, but I
never said Uche won’t play as long as I remain coach of the team. In the
near future if he changes his mind and indicates interest to play he
will be considered on merit”.
The coach, who has been under duress to qualify Nigeria for the AFCON
championship in 2015 urged the media not to sensationalise the Ike Uche
issue as it will not help resolve anything.
“We have to help all our players grow so that we can all build a strong
national team and the media is a partner in this regard. He said he does
not have anything personal against the Villareal striker but will not
force to play for Nigeria against his will. footballlive
