Keshi needs Uche & Odemwingie to get strong squad, says Adepoju

After watching the international friendly match between the Super Eagles and Mexico that ended goalless, Adepoju concluded that the Big Boss needs the duo to have a complete squad. Former Nigeria midfielder Mutiu Adepoju says coach Stephen Keshi needs to include experienced forwards Ikechukwu Uche and Peter Odemwingie in his squad in order to have a balanced team at the World Cup.


"My dear friend Stephen Keshi needs to forgive the boy, Ike Uche and bring him back into the team for the 2014 World Cup preparations," Adepoju who played alongside Keshi in the Golden Team of 1994 told Goal. "Ike Uche has realy done well in his club to deserve a call up. Keshi can re-assess him in the other friendly matches the Eagles will play. "I will be happy if he can extend invitations to Osaze Odemwingie too now that he is also doing well with his club in England.

"The newly invited players - Michael Uchebo, Ramon Azeez, Isaac Imoh and defender Leon Balogun - are good players but they still need to play more friendly matches with the team to be able to blend with the team on ground.
