Lunch time in Calabar for the Super Eagles technical crew
was a delight on Tuesday, as camp suddenly upped to 17, with more players
expected before training in the evening after only nine players trained in the
morning training session.
Head Coach Stephen Keshi and his assistants were grinning
from ear to ear as Ahmed Musa, Ogenyi Onazi, Efe Ambrose, Kenneth Omeruo, Juwon
Oshaniwa, Sone Aluko, John Mikel Obi and standin captain Austin Ejide arrive on
time to have lunch with the rest of the team.
Mikel’s entrance was particularly hilarious as he came in
with hand gloves and asked Coach Keshi if he will need some with the fear of
the Ebola disease in mind. “Coach I have up to four hand gloves and if you
don’t mind, I can hand one pair to you”, he said jokingly with the rest of the
team reeling with laughter.
The spirit in camp in camp is very buoyant with the arrival
of the super stars and Keshi says he expects the best from the players on
Saturday in the game against Congo.
The national team Head Coach also announced that he has decided
to replace Vincent Enyeama, who is absent for personal reasons with Elkanemi of
Maiduguri first choice keeper, David Obiazor. “We have been monitoring the
Nigerian league and we see that the keeper of Elkanemi is a talent, that is why we want to give him a trial. We
will see how it turns out when he arrives camp”, Keshi said after lunch on
Tuesday.
