Stephen Keshi has indicated that Osaze Odemwingie’s attitude might keep him out of the national team for a long time.
The West Brom forward, was excluded from the squad that went on to win the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa and Keshi revealed that he has shown no remorse, as he refused to congratulate the players and officials.
“There is no doubt that Osaze is a good player, but he hasn’t shown the right attitude that he is ready to play for the country again. Nigerians won’t believe that Osaze has not sent a word or text messages of congratulations to us after the Nations Cup. This shows the kind of a person he is,” Keshi said.
Keshi however said that he would be willing to invite players like Victor Anichebe, Shola Ameobi, etc. if they deserve to be in his team, stressing that they must be show discipline and patriotism.
“The door of the team is open to all Nigerian players who are doing well at their respective clubs both at home and abroad. But we will not sacrifice discipline or good attitude for any erring player,” he said.
