“Greuther Fürth have released Obanor to the Nigeria Football Federation and paid for his flight ticket from Germany to USA, ” a top source told allnigeriasoccer.com.
“They have told him that he should return immediately to Germany if he does not make the final squad or whenever Nigeria end their participation at the Olympics.”
