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.
