There are
very strong indications that out-of-favour Super Eagles player, Osaze
Odemwingie may likely re-join the Stephen Keshi-led Eagles in their remaining
friendly games before they hit Brazil for the World Cup in June.
Strong-headed
Osaze was left out of the Eagles in 2012 when he took offence for being
substituted after a very poor outing in a Nations Cup match in Rwanda.
When Keshi wanted to recall him he expressed misgiving about his substitution
and Keshi felt that he was not yet ready to play for Nigeria and give his all.
Keshi looked away.
Osaze
took to tweeters to ease his frustration, blasting Keshi and the Eagles crew
for what he reasoned was
wrong.
But we gathered that he may have pleaded Mea cupa and Keshi is also set to
welcome him back by inviting him to the team as soon as possible.
A very
dependable source informed us that Osaze who appears in form in his new
club, Stoke City has apologised to the Eagles coach and told him to forgive him
of his tantrums.
“Keshi is
human and was touched by the change of heart of Osaze in asking for
forgiveness. He(Keshi) wants the best for the Super Eagles. Since Osaze is
doing well in his club and has shown remorse, he will soon open the doors for
the ‘’prodigal son’’, our source said.
The Super
Eagles would be glad to welcome Osaze who hit a brace against West Ham at the
weekend as his club won 3-1.
While
Osaze’s come-back remains a cheery news, our source was silent on the fate of
Villarreal hotshot, Ike Uche whose chances of coming back to Eagles after his
last outing in the African Cup of Nations win in South Africa are still
unclear. Keshi had frowned that Ike Uche lacked tactical
discipline, an accusation that shocked both player and keen watchers of
football.
