• Omeruo gets new improved Chelsea dealREPORTS say Coach Stephen Keshi may have decided to shut the Brazil 2014 World Cup door on South Africa 2013 CAF Nations Cup hero, Sunday Mba, who failed to report to Super Eagles’ camp yesterday, reports kickoffnigeria.com. The midfielder was due to report with the rest of the squad on Monday, but was one of two players who failed to make it citing travel hitches from France. The other, Nnamdi Oduamadi, made it by the Tuesday deadline given by Stephen Keshi. However, as at departure time to the stadium yesterday evening for the friendly against Scotland, Mba was yet to show up. A team official told KickOffNigeria.com that the player’s World Cup might be effectively over. ‘‘The coach was very clear about the deadline to report to camp. Anyone who is not in camp by now, can consider his World Cup chances over.’’Team Media Officer, Ben Alaiya, confirmed that MBA had not arrived by yesterday evening.
“We are at the stadium now, and Mba is not with us. It is fair to say that his World Cup hopes are over.”
Meanwhile, Keshi warned his players yesterday that they must all give 110 percent or be on the plane home, rather than Brazil.
Keshi is expected to cut his 30-man squad to 23 within the next week.
The former Nigeria captain is convinced the players will give everything, but warns of dire consequences if they do not.
