Super Eagles’ coach Stephen Keshi has explained that Villarreal striker Ik Uche wanted an apology to return back to the national team.
Asked why Uche has not been invited to the national team recently, Keshi revealed that he was supposed to be part of the Nations Cup preparatory team currently in Calabar but he wanted to be begged.
His words: “He was supposed to be part of the team that is presently in camp but he said we must beg him first to play for Nigeria because he was left out of some competitions but I can’t beg anyone to play for Nigeria, impossible. That’s why he is not here.”
It will be recalled that the striker was left out of the Super Eagles squad to Brazil 2014 World Cup.
