Standing-in coach of Nigeria’s Super Eagles, Austin Eguavoen has read a riot act to any of the players who fails to meet up with tomorrow’s deadline, as the team prepare for the Africa Nations Cup qualifying game against Madagascar in Abuja this weekend.
Eguavoen believes the players, especially the foreign- based professionals must report to camp latest by tomorrow, adding that they have no excuses because all the 15 invited players from Europe are expected to have concluded their club’s engagements by last night.
“If the players have to be fair to themselves and the country, they should not hesitate to leave their bases immediately after their league matches. I want to assure that any of the players who fails to meet up with the deadline on Tuesdaynight (tomorrow) should just forget it. The coaches will not condone lateness and indiscipline in the camp,†Eguavoen warned.
