Salisu Yusuf warns players: Report to camp on Monday or forget call up

By Taofeek Babalola

Super Eagles chief coach Salisu Yusuf has revealed to Sportinglens.blogsport.com that any player who fails to report to the Home-based Eagles team’s camp on Monday may lose his invitation.


The Nigeria’s senior home –based professionals are expected to resume camp for their 5th African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifying fixture against either of Benin Republic or Togo in the ancient city of Kano on Monday.

The former Kano Pillars and Enyimba FC manager said the team has limited time for preparation and any player who came late to the camp will be referred to as unserious player.

He also revealed that the team will use the Sani Abacha Stadium for the training session.

“We have limited time for preparation and we have to hit the ground running without any delay. All players should be in camp latest on Monday and any player who fail to show up that day should forget about it. If a player fail to arrive at a stipulated day it is a sign of un-seriousness and we can’t tolerate that,” Yusuf told Sportinglens.blogsport.com.

“We have our plans already and we want the players to understand it quickly. I want the players to know that they are coming to the camp for business and they have to prepare well for it. We have been mandated to qualify for CHAN and there is no time to waste any more.”  


The Super Eagles’ delegation will depart for the away match on 11th August, which will be played in Cotonou or Lome on 13th August and return to Kano to continue camping for the second leg, which will come up on 19th August.
