Super Eagles assistant captain, Vincent Enyeama has revealed that players of the Nigeria team miss captain, Joseph Yobo.

Yobo, Nigeria’s most capped player, has not played for the Super Eagles since the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.

Enyeama, who has been deputising with aplomb in the role as team leader, has now revealed that players of the squad still have fond thoughts of the centre half who has been in impressive form for Turkish club, Fenerbahce.

“It’s a big honour to wear the (captain’s arm) band for this country. It’s also an honour to stand in place of Yobo. Yobo is a great guy and an amazing person. He’s a great human being,” Enyeama exclusively told supersport.com on Wednesday.

The LOSC Lille Metropole goalkeeper then expressed sadness at Yobo’s absence from the squad that will face Malawi on Saturday.
