How Sunday Oliseh Kicked Enyeama Out Of Super Eagles Camp In Belgium.




The Super Eagles captain was kicked out of the team's camp in Belgium after falling out with
coach Sunday Oliseh on Tuesday but the NFF has now stepped in to halt the decision
The simmering problem in the camp of the Super Eagles between coach Sunday Oliseh and captain Vincent Enyeama boiled over on Tuesday when the goalkeeper was kicked out of the team's hotel. 

Enyeama arrived camp after Monday's deadline, having been permitted to report late following Saturday's burial of his mother in Akwa Ibom. But tempers boiled over as he attempted to apologise to team mates for reporting late to camp when coach Oliseh ordered him to leave the hotel before calling on security officials to haul the goalkeeper out.
However, the Nigeria Football Federation has now stepped in to rescue the situation after Goal reported it. 

In a tweet, the NFF confirmed that there had been a "little misunderstanding" but that the goalkeeper is still with the team. It's true that there was a little misunderstanding in the camp of @NGSuperEagles, but the matter has been resolved.

A month ago, the goalkeeper asked to be withdrawn from the squad preparing in Abuja for the Super Eagles' Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Tanzania, only for news to break later that evening that his mother had died. Officials in the Super Eagles camp told Goal that Ahmed Musa was named captain despite the presence of a more senior John Obi Mikel in camp. Goal also learnt that Oliseh was unnerved by the decision of Victor Moses to withdraw from the game as he feared injuries and that the winger might not be called up again in his reign. With recent happenings, it is not certain if the 101-cap goalkeeper would stay back after being humiliated by the trainer.

 If Enyeama refuses to stay, this could throw up a potential problem for the team that will mean just one goalkeeper would be available in Carl Ikeme due to the non-issuance of Schengen visas to Sunshine Stars' Ikechukwu Ezenwa and Enyimba's Femi Thomas. While the group of home-based players continue to hope
that the Belgian Embassy issues them visas on Wednesday, any further delay would mean that the Super Eagles' technical crew would have to scamper to find any Nigerian goalkeeper who has a valid Schengen visa to play in Thursday's friendly against Congo. Stay with Goal for more as this situation develops.
