BRAZIL 2014 COUNTDOWN: Nigeria Provisional 30 Man List

Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi on Tuesday released a 30 man provisional list for the the World Cup in Brazil, reports Completesportsnigeria.com

 

Keshi has included Stoke City striker, Osaze Peter Odemwingie in his provisional list. It can be recalled that the former West Brom forward ignited a long-standing row with the Eagles coach over his national team blackout for some time. But Osaze apologized to the Eagles coach in good time before the 2014 World Cup provisional list decision.

 

Skipper of the team, Joseph Yobo who lost his place in the centre back position at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations was also named in the side.

 

Remarkably, Keshi left out Villarreal of Spain striker, Ike Uche. The Eagles boss also had a row with the player. And with Uche refraining from making an apology like  Osaze Odemwingie did, Keshi has axed him from his World Cup squad.

 

The final squad for the World Cup will be released on June 2.
