With just five days to the Morocco 2015 Nations Cup qualifier between Nigeria and Congo, the Eagles camp in Calabar has started bubbling with Chelsea forward, John Mikel Obi, who arrived camp yesterday taking no chance over the dreaded Ebola Virus Disease (EVD). Mikel who plies his soccer trade in England stormed camp with loads of hand gloves which he was ready to share with his team mates and technical officials and the player jokingly made this clear moments after arriving camp.Team?s Media Officer, Ben Alaiya disclosed that Mikel, whose arrival ignited the camp told Keshi that he was ready to give him one of the hand gloves, an offer which saw the players reeling in laughter. Other players that breezed into camp yesterday include Ogenyi Onazi, Kenneth Omeruo, Juwon Oshaniwa, Sone Aluko , Nnamdi Oduamadi, Emma Emenike and stand-in, captain, Austin Ejide. The early arrival of the players made Keshi happy, even as he stated that he expects the best from the players on saturday. Meanwhile, Keshi decided to replace Vincent Enyeama, who is absent for personal reasons with Elkanemi of Maiduguri first choice keeper, David Obiazor. ?We have been monitoring the Nigerian league and we see that the keeper of Elkanemi is a talent, that is why we want to give him a trial. We will see how it turns out when he arrives camp?, Keshi said after lunch yesterday.
