Super Eagles skip-per, Joseph Yobo of Turkish side Fernabahce, striker Osaze Odemwengie of West Brom have reassured the national team that they will arrive on time for the team’s departure for Kigali , Rwanda on Monday.

This according to Head Coach Stephen Keshi, was conveyed though phone calls and text messages from not only the duo but nearly all players invited. “In fact this Thursday morning I received a very reassuring text message from Osaze, saying he would arrive on Sunday after his game on Saturday.

Yobo and others have also been calling to pep us up and I must say it has been very encouraging to the team”,Keshi said after another rigorous training under the heat of Abuja which stood at 36 degrees celcius on Thursday afternoon.

The former Super Eagles skipper added that even players who were not invited to camp have been calling him to find out why they were left out and he has assured them that their time will come under his reign as the national team manager.

On the home-based players in camp, Keshi said they have started to show true professionalism and it would show when the team squares up against Rwanda in Kigali next Wednesday.
