Osaze may return to Eagles
Headlines, Soccer, Sports Saturday, February 15th, 2014Recalcitrant Super Eagles out of favour striker, Osaze Odemwingie, could still make it to the Brazil 2014 World Cup if he shows remorse in his face off with coach, Stephen Keshi.
According to a report by MTNFootball.com, the Stoke City of England attacker could still get invitation to prove himself for the world showpiece but that will depend on the outcome of a proposed talk with the Super Eagles gaffer.
Keshi said the door to the World Cup is open for Odemwingie, but insisted on a talk with the striker.
Keshi and Odemwingie were involved in a highly publicised row during which the Stoke City striker took to social media Twitter to blast the Eagles handler after he was sensationally left out of a 2013 Africa Cup of Nations.
A bitter Osaze said he was quiting international football, but later rescinded the decision.
“Keshi has said the door is still open to Osaze, but he will need to talk with the player before he could recall him to his team,” a top official informed MTNFootball.com
“He said this while he was defending his squad list for the Mexico friendly before the technical committee.
“Some of the top officials at the meeting said they wish to be at the clear-the-air talk with Osaze.”
Osaze last played for Nigeria two years ago in a 2013 AFCON qualifier in Rwanda after which he went on a tirade after he was hauled off the pitch.
