Head coach of the Nigeria national team Stephen Keshi has revealed that he invited Villarreal striker Ikechukwu Uche for Saturday’s 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifier against Congo but that the 32-year-old turned down the invitationSuperSportsunderstands.
Keshi famously left out the forward from his list of players that represented Nigeria at the 2014 Fifa World Cup despite widespread calls for his inclusion.
The Nigeria coach has now revealed that he invited the forward for the upcoming Afcon qualifiers against Congo and South Africa.
“Well, Ikechukwu Uche his name was originally on the list (for both games) but he said he needed somebody to speak with him, maybe to beg him or something before he can come.
“And I said I cannot do that so I had to change Ike with somebody else,” Keshi told journalists during a press conference in Calabar.

Keshi should stop disturbing this boy, we know that he don't like to see him play for us, he should please stop blackmailing the boy. For once i have never heard him speak bad against anybody including Keshi! Who asked him of Uche's inclusion or exclusion?
