The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) has moved to allay fears that the Super Eagles’ international friendly against DR Congo has been overshadowed by a rift between head coach Sunday Oliseh and goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama.
Both men had a well-publicised spat on Tuesday which ended in Enyeama losing the captaincy of the team to CSKA Moscow man Ahmed Musa.
NFF President Amaju Pinnick has now moved to clarify the current situation, insisting that “whatever misunderstanding that happened on Tuesday night has been peacefully resolved”.
“I’m happy there is absolute peace in the camp and the players and coaches are thinking of nothing other than the two matches against DR Congo and Cameroon.
“Whatever misunderstanding that happened on Tuesday night has been peacefully resolved and everyone’s forgot about it.
“Anywhere you have a group of people there is propensity for misunderstanding now and again. The key thing is the immediacy of resolution and the maturity to forgive and forget,” the NFF chief was quoted as saying on the NFF’s official website, www.thenff.com.
Nigeria’s Super Eagles will face DR Congo in an international friendly on Thursday at Vise Stadium, Rue de Mons, before facing Cameroon’s Indomitable Lions three days later.
