No Final Words On Egypt Friendly

With barely nine days to the all-important final round Nations Cup qualifier against the Lone Star of Liberia, management of the national team assumed another dimension when the technical and medical crew at yesterday’s training started fishing out for hidden injuries by players.

Head Coach Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, who led the secret search , unknown to the players said it was important because some of the highly rated players might have hidden injuries and that would not help the cause of the nation, hence the need to fish them out by the technical and medical crew.

After a close examination of the players during their pre-training exercises, no serious detection was made but not before the crew including team doctor, Ibrahim Gyaran, physiotherapist; Wale Oladejo, pulled out Kabiru Umar and Benjamin Francis for special attention.

“The team is physically intact and there is no cause for alarm, we just want to ensure that all our players are in good shape since they have been away from the national camp for sometimes”.

After the medical examination, the team medical doctor, Gyaran, said that there were no serious injury worries, as the exercise was just a routine one targeted at players who were part of the Federations Cup final and third place games played at the weekend in Lagos.
