Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi has stated that the national team door is still open to the likes of Osaze Odemwingie and Obafemi Martins who were cut from the team on the way to South Africa 2013. Keshi who spoke on Saturday in Lagos (full interview on page 90) reiterated that he only dropped those players because he could not accommodate every good Nigerian player in one competition.
He said, “Unless they don’t want to play for Nigeria anymore, otherwise they have a place in the team. We have a list of 50 players that we are working with. On the list are Osaze (Odemwingie), (Obafemi) Martins, (Victor) Anichebe and many others. At every stage we need them they will join us. We will use every good Nigerian player to make the team better unless the player does not want to play for Nigeria. The door is still very wide open.”
