Yobo, Uche may join Eagles in Madagascar

Super Eagles captain, Joseph Yobo, and Ike Uche may join the team in Madagascar as both players have to sort out their moves from their current clubs.

This development is contained in a statement issued on Tuesday by Super Eagles Press Officer, Collins Udoh.

It also said that Coach Samson Siasia had set a Tuesday deadline for all players to arrive at the Super Eagles Transcorp Hilton Hotel camp, but the two players had been granted more time to sort out their transfers.

Yobo is negotiating a move away from Everton, while Uche could also be on his way out of Real Zaragoza.

``It’s their future and that is very important so if they cannot finish on time, they will be excused to join us in Madagascar," Siasia said. 

The statement added that 12 of the 13 players in camp trained at the Abuja National Stadium on Tuesday morning.

According to the statement, Emmanuel Emenike was excused as he arrived just before the team departed for the stadium.

Striker Brown Ideye arrived at the hotel just as the squad got back from training, the statement added. (NAN)
