Super Eagles head Coach
has declared that there
will be no automatic shirts
foe home based Super
Eagles in the 2014 World
Cup qualifier match against the
Flames of Malawi on September 7
in Calabar.
Coach Keshi who was in NFF on
Thursaud to finalise arrangement
for the crucial match said he will
not disclose the names of the
few home based Eagles short
listed for the crunch match that
has generated heated argument
between the Keshi and Malawian
coach, Tom Saintfied.
The former Super Eagles Captain
said the names of the invited home
bassed players would be made
public by the technical committee
of the glass house.
“There is no automatic shirt for
the home lads, All of them have to
fight for the five slots I allocated to
them and I don’t know what you
mean by the regular five homebased
Eagles players. When we
start training we will know who is
who.”
Keshi said that he was fully aware
of midfielder Sunday Mba’s trip
to France to join AC Bastia. He
disagreed with reports that stated
the midfielder went on trials at the
club.
“Sunday Mba is in France to team
up with a top division side. He did
not travel to undergo trials but
to join the team as well as finalize
the contractual terms involving his
transfer to the club.”
Nigeria need at least a draw
against Malawi to qualify for the
final play off stage of the 2014 FIFA
World Cup in Brazil next year.
