A knee injury cost Obinna Nsofor a place in Nigeria's
World Cup squad.
Nsofor was one of seven players axed by Stephen Keshi
when he named his final 23-man squad, and team sources told KickOffNigeria.com
that Nsofor would have been in the 23 but for his knee issues.
"His knee swelled up after the first training
session, and that's why he missed out on the Scotland friendly.
"The doctors worked on it and monitored it over the
next few days, but in the end, a decision was taken not to risk it, because he
could aggravate it at the World Cup and that could be bad for his career."
Joel Obi's fate was also similar. Although he featured
against Scotland, the midfielder was not at full tilt, and Keshi also decided
to allow him time off to get fully fit.
