Head coach of the Super Eagles, Stephen Keshi, has reached out to striker Emmanuel Emenike, over the death of his father, Pa Felix Emenike Ndukwu.
The Big Boss said he, the team and his assistants, feel the Fenerbahce man’s grief, but encouraged him to be strong.
“I can imagine what Emma is going through at the moment, the pain and the sense of loss that comes with losing someone as close and dear as one’s father,” Keshi said.
“On behalf of every member of the Super Eagles, including the coaches, back -room staff and the players currently in camp here in Abuja, I want to console him and ask him to be strong for those Pa Emenike Ndukwu has left behind. We ask God to also strengthen him and comfort him.”
Emenike was not called up for the June 13 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Chad, but has been a key player for the former African champions since he made his debut in 2011.
