Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi opens door for Martins, others

Super Eagles Coach, Stephen Keshi opens door for Martins, others- Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has said he will pick several players who are yet to feature for his team for a friendly against Venezuela.

Next week, the Eagles coach is also expected to make public his list of call-ups for the game billed for Miami, USA.

The match will be played on November 14 and forms part of Nigeria’s build-up to the 2013 AFCON, where they are drawn alongside defending champions Zambia, Burkina Faso and Ethiopia.
Keshi said, “I have plans to invite some new legs for the Venezuela friendly. They may not be new to Nigerians but I say they are new because it would be the first time they would be playing under me.”
The former Eagles captain, who was not willing to give away some of the names, added,”Like I have said every Nigeria player will have his chance.”

However, top officials of the football house have revealed that “Keshi is looking at ways of strengthening his team and plans to bring in players like Obafemi Martins, Onyekachi Apam, Joseph Akpala and Peter Utaka.”

Keshi will now set his pre-AFCON training camp in Faro, Portugal, after his choice of Zimbabwe was overruled for lack of facilities. (Vanguard)
