Super Eagles 2013 Nations Cup hero, Sunday Mba, who is one of the players being relied upon to pull the strings at the forthcoming CHAN African Nations tournament, may after all not be available for the tournament, according to Head Coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi.
Keshi said on Thursday that Mba was on his way to France to join Bastia, the French side that first indicated interest in the player after the Nations Cup triumph.
Assistant Coach, Dan ‘the Bull’ Amokachi was to add that the player could leave camp as early as Friday, as he was not one of the players listed for the friendly game in Port Harcourt, Rivers State on Saturday against a Rivers selected side.
Amokachi said: “We have resigned ourselves to fate and working hard to discover those who can fill Mba’s shoes, as he seems to have nicked a deal with Bastia and may not be part of CHAN tourney.
“We just to brace up and wish him the best because it’s a career thing.”
