The Technical Committee of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) on Thursday in Abuja released a list of 28 players for camping for the Super Eagles' upcoming international friendly matches.
This list consists of some of the players who were labeled as being bad and lack discipline by their former coach, Samson Siasia.
It is an open secret about the love lost between former Super Eagles Coach, Samson Siasia and some of his boys and the punishment he doled out on them.
Recalling the two match ban he gave Osaze Odemwinge of West Bromwich Albion, which he further repeated on Vincent Enyeama. Recently before he was sacked, there was the issue of the fine which was imposed on Mikel Obi for reporting late to camp. All these did nothing but drew a lot of battles between he and his boys and thus there is false loyalty from his team.
The Eagles will take on the Zebras of Botswana in Benin on Nov. 12 and the Chipolopolo of Zambia in Kaduna on Nov. 15.
According to the list released by NFF's Chief Media Officer, Ademola Olajire, goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama of French side, Lille LOSC, is making a return to the team.
He is returning alongside full back Chibuzor Okonkwo, as well as midfielders Yusuf Ayila and Dickson Etuhu.
