“We cannot have those three in camp anymore,” Siasia
stated . This is very serious business, and only serious –
minded persons can be involved. They reported late to the
camp of the U-23 team, so they cannot be tolerated in the
camp of the senior team.
“I have said it over the past few days that the right
mentality would count big among the traits we are looking
for in the players to feature against Egypt.”
Oduduwa and Mohammed were in the U-23 squad that
won the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations in Senegal in
December 2015, while Dimgba has trained with the
team and the Eagles B previously.
The Super Eagles’ new boss is known to be a
disciplinarian. He threw out star midfielder Kingsley
Sokari and talented forward Daniel Etor from his squad
for the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations after the pair opted
to play for their club, Enyimba FC, in a final NPFL game
in Lagos in November 2015, against his instructions.
