Super Eagles defender, Joseph Yobo appeared to have been
involved in a major falling out with Stephen Keshi, turkish-football.com
reports.
A
source from the Super Eagles camp in South Africa, according to the website,
said the pair are only trying to manage the situation publicly.
Futaa.com
says the problem started before the captain arrived at the team pre-tournament
camp in Faro, Portugal in late December, after officials questioned his fitness
level.
The
problems further escalated after Nigeria’s opening game against Burkina Faso in
Nelspruit when Yobo suffered a minor ankle knock.
The
website gathered that the incident and other issues has led to an
irreconcilable difference between the duo as the skipper is still hanging
around out of respect for the nation, fans and some Nigeria Football Federation
officials.
There
are strong indications that the player is expected to answer questions about
the incident and make a strong statement at the end of Nigeria’s campaign at
the tournament.
