AFCON 2013: Keshi drops 4 players, 4 more to go on Tuesday


Rabiu Ibrahim
Godwin Enakhena, a respected sports analyst, has revealed that Stephen Keshi has dropped four players from the Super Eagles’ Faro Camp in Portugal.
Rabiu Ibrahim, who just sealed a move to Kilmarnock, Papa Idris, Henry Uche and the injured Uche Kalu, are the quartet that will not be going to South Africa 2013.
Ebakhena, was particularly shoched about Ibrahim’s exclusion, as according to him, “he was outstanding, a true replica of Okocha.” He however conceded that “we have better players in the midfield.”
According to him, four more players will be dropped on Tuesday, when Keshi is expected to name his final squad to the Africa Nations Cup.
“Everything is good in camp, all players are in good spirit. The four players dropped took it in good faith because of the way coach did it,” the team’s spokesperson, Ben Alaiya. “The way Keshi broke the news to the players was superb, he called the players affected aside after dinner, talked to them and told them they won’t be going to the AFCON but could still make it another time.
“We have 27 players in camp now and four more will be dropped tomorrow (Tuesday).
“Rabiu was outstanding and was a true replica of ‘Jay Jay’ Okocha if you see him at training, the look, the style of play, but there are lot of better players in the midfield, so he has to go.
“Henry Uche has a future in the team, while I feel sorry for Uche Kalu as he was involved in all the qualifiers but the injury knocked him out.”
