Keshi makes Mikel Obi
U-Turn

From the programme Eagles Stephen Keshi submitted to the
Nigeria Football Association for the AFCON qualifier in Monrovia
on September 8, the Chelsea
midfielder who was sensationally left out of the June qualifiers, has been
handed a second chance with the national team.
Keshi has been at odds with Mikel’s commitment to the
national cause and that was why he overlooked him in June, just weeks after he
starred in Chelsea ’s historic UEFA
Champions League triumph at Bayern Munich.
Also staging a return to the Eagles is Olympic team standout
star Nosa Igiebor, who last featured in November’s friendly against Zambia
in Kaduna .
The midfielder, who can play either as a playmaker or an
offensive player coming from deep, has continued to shine at Israeli club
Hapoel Tel Aviv.
And with Keshi desperate for creativity in the middle of the
park, the former Warri Wolves star has thus been reconsidered.
Another player set for a comeback is Russia-based striker
Emmanuel Emenike, who has already got off to a flying start in the new season
with Spartak Moscow.
