Super Eagles MO: Enyeama Must Meet Four Conditions Before Playing At 2018 World Cup
Published: November 13, 2017
Super Eagles Media Officer Toyin Ibitoye has revealed that Lille goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has to meet four conditions before he is invited to the national team ahead of the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
The former Maccabi Tel Aviv and Hapoel Tel Aviv netminder called time on his international career after a well publicized dispute with ex-coach Sunday Oliseh over the captaincy of the team in October 2015.
Enyeama, who is out of favour at Lille, has to be fit again, must find a new team when the transfer window reopens in January, play regularly and reverse his decision to quit the Nigeria set-up to stand any chance whatsoever of earning a recall.
''As for Vincent Enyeama, his issue has been on for a long while and coach Gernot Rohr has made it very clear that he’s open to Vincent’s return if he rescinds his decision to quit the team and makes himself available for selection,'' Ibitoye was quoted as saying by Complete Sports, who made reference to Channels Television.
''He’s presently injured and in rehabilitation but gradually getting back into shape. If he gets back and finds a club, plays regularly for his club and makes himself available for selection, then he would be invited
''We all know Vincent and his pedigree. He’s world class, one of Africa’s best, has experience from three World Cup tournaments and has won Man of the Match awards in World Cup games.
''So if he’s available, I’m sure the coach will be amenable to inviting him for the World Cup party. All of these is dependent on Vincent rescinding his decision to quit international football.
''For someone who’s had 100 caps for Nigeria, I’m not sure you can shut the door of the national team on a player like that if he’s available and willing to play. ''
