[Sports] Siasia issues players deadline ...

Coach Samson Siasia has warned his Olympic Team players who featured for their clubs during African club competition matches during the weekend to re­port to camp in Abuja lat­est today.

 

The former Super Eagles’ chief was himself in Warri on Saturday to see Warri Wolves defeat Rac­ing Club Bobo-Dioulasso of Burkina Faso 3-0 and reached the first round of the CAF Confederation Cup competition on 4-0 aggregate.
“I’m happy to be here to see my players do well and also scored goals for Warri Wolves,” Siasia began, referring to the duo of Freedom Omofonma and Oghenekaro Etebo who got on the scoresheet alongside Joseph Osadiaye to turn back the Burkinabes.

While commending Warri Wolves for its excel­lent performance, Siasia promised that he would continue to watch matches on the local scene to moni­tor his players and also to see others who could fit into his squad.

The Monday deadline also applied to Kano Pillars’ duo Yusuf Mohammed and Christian Obiozor, as well as Enyimba FC’s Kingsley Sokari and Peter Onyekachi, as the U-23 National Team intensified preparations for the return leg of its 11th All-Africa Games qualify­ing fixture against Gabon, in Abuja on Saturday, March 7.

Sokari and Onyekachi scored for Enyimba FC in its 3-0 first leg win over Buffles du Borgu of Benin Republic in the CAF Champions League and were also set to feature against the opponents in the return leg in Benin Republic on Sunday. Obiozor and Mohammed were part of the Pillars’ squad that defeated Al Malakia of South Sudan 3-0 in Kano on Saturday to reach the second round of the CAF Champions League on 5-0 aggregate.
