WCQ: Keshi unveils squad next week

Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi , has said invitees for a World Cup clash against Kenya will be known next week with no new player from the Nigerian Premier League.

Nigeria hosts the Kenyan Harambee Stars in Calabar on March 23, MTNFootball.com reports.

The African champions currently top of Group F with four points, while Kenya is bottom of the standings with one point after both teams played two games each.

Nambia and Malawi are the other teams in this group.

“The list for the Super Eagles for the game against Kenya will be released next week on or before the March 9. We already know the players but we are weighing up some options,” Keshi said.

Keshi is expected to keep faith with the squad who won the African Nations Cup in South Africa with Spartak Moscow striker Emmanuel Emenike a notable absentee because of a long-term hamstring injury he suffered at the tournament.

Keshi’s assistant Sylvanus Okpala has already hinted there will be no fresh call-up from the domestic league because it has yet to kick off.
