Atletico Belaeres midfielder, Raheem Lawal, might miss out of the Super Eagles versus Brave Warriors of Namibia World Cup qualifier on Sunday, following a battle for visa regularization in Spain. Lawal, was exquisite in the midfield when the Super Eagles played Peru in a friendly last week and was thought to be in Stephen Keshi’s plan for Sunday’s duel.
Super Eagles Scribe, Dayo Enebi Achor, said he has not relented in ensuring that the player’s papers are regularized. “We are still expecting him anytime from now and we will not relent until he arrives the country to join his colleagues in camp”, he said.
It’s however thought that even if Lawal arrives camp today latest, Stephen Keshi may have no room to assess him properly for a game as crucial as a World Cup qualifier. He may have to wait for the away tie next week against Malawi to prove his mettle. Though, nothing has yet been ruled out.
Meanwhile, Italy based duo of Nnamdi Oduamadi and Obiorah Nwankwo, joined camp yesterday afternoon, to swell the number of players in the national team to 26. They were part of the evening training and hustling for shirts ahead of Sunday’s clash against the Brave Warriors.
