Stephen Keshi on Wednesday, ruled out injured midfielder Ogenyi Onazi, from the ongoing Confederations Cup.
The Lazio player, was due to link up with the rest of the squad, having missed the first match against Tahiti. Keshi at that time, had expressed optimism that the 20-year-old might play a part in the rest of the compeition. However, Onazi will now stay behind in Nigeria to undergo further treatment.
“Up to now, we don’t know. I’m not sure if he’s coming,” Keshi said during Wednesday’s pre-game press conference.
“We’re not too much in haste. We have three very important World Cup games in September, October and November.
“Those are more important for us, although of course the Confederations Cup is good for us too. We don’t want to push him too much. We want to let him be ready.”
