Super Eagles first choice keeper and captain, Vincent
Enyeama, who Thursday, October 8 announced his
retirement from the team has agreed to stage a
comeback.
Enyeama’s decision to return was taken yesterday in
Belgium after a three- hour meeting with the president of
Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) Amaju Pinnick.
Pinnick told Sunday Sunsports exclusively after the
meeting that the good news he has for Nigerians is that
Enyeama has assured him that he would rescind his
retirement decision, even as he added that he succeeded
in getting Enyeama and Oliseh to talk on phone.
“I had a very fruitful meeting with Enyeama. Our meeting
lasted for three hours and I must tell you that all is well
now. Enyeama will return after the game against
Cameroon tomorrow (today). He spoke with Oliseh on
phone after our meeting. He (Enyeama) is not in camp
at the moment but he is likely going to watch the match
against Cameroon from the stands,” Pinnick disclosed.
It would be noted that Enyeama decided to quit the
Eagles over Oliseh’s decision to strip him of the
skipper’s band. The new Eagles gaffer has since named
Ahmed Musa new captain of the team with Ogenyi Onazi
as vice captain.
Oliseh has come under fire from many soccer fans over
the decision which they reason will polarize the Eagles
as they chase Nations Cup and World Cup qualification
tickets.
