Super Eagles coach,Stephen Keshi,has once again reiterated that skipper,Joseph Yobo is still very much in his plans.
There have been speculation over the international future of Yobo,with many believing that he is being tactically schemed out of the team.

“He is like a younger brother to me and I want the best for him but there seems to be a desperate bid to create a war between me and my captain and I will always reject that because he remains one of Nigeria’s big football players and we cannot rush him out just like that”, Keshi was quoted to have said by the media officer.
