“Captain Wilfred Ndidi, Bruno Onyemaechi, Samson Tijani, Ebenezer Akinsamiro, Akor Adams, Emmanuel Fernandez, and Raphael Onyedika are among the players yet to arrive in camp.”
The “big” boys want to play Poland and Portugal instead.
Imagine the disrespect.
Why let the coach “waste” the slots then?
None of them has any excuse whatsoever to not still arrive the camp on Thursday evening
Is it not better for the fringe players?Honestly,we don’t need them for the unity cup.We have seen enough of most of these players over the years.So let’s see the rookies and get to know what they can bring differently,to the super eagles.
Meanwhile,Samson Tijani is in camp,he featured from the start against Zimbabwe.
Me grieve over the absence of Ndidi and even akor? No way.
I just bothered about the wasted slots to bring in their replacements since they preferred being in the Portugal game squad.
Anyway, they have one more afcon so they can do shakara for now
