Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi has submitted a list of about 38 players to the Nigeria Football Federation for vetting ahead of the World Cup. The Super Eagles coach has put in a list of almost 40 players to be considered for camping ahead of the World Cup in June. Keshi met with the Technical Committee of the NFF in Abuja on Tuesday afternoon, a meeting that lasted for about three hours. The NFF is expected to trim down the list to 30 names that will then be sent to FIFA as the country's provisional World Cup squad by May 10.
"I have about 37 to 38 players on my list from there I will select about 30 players because that is what FIFA needs [as provisional list] on May 10th, 2014," Keshi said.

"I am worried about the list I have been reading on the pages of newspapers. I did not make that list and I am not happy that you guys are reporting this to mislead people," he said. The waiting game therefore continues. He used the opportunity to deny that any list had been leaked to the media.
