LAGOS MAY 22ND (URHOBOTODAY)-Super Eagles’ Chief Coach Stephen Keshi has complained of being shunned by the team’s highly influential play-maker Mikel Obi of Chelsea Football Club of England.
Although the Coach hide the fact that he was not pained by Mikel’s action but it was visible that he would have love to interact with the player since he is an important member of the team.

Keshi disclosed to NationSport yesterday in his Bolton White Apartment Hotel that he put the call across to the player just to know his state of health when he heard that he was injured. He was however surprised that up until now the player has not deemed it fit to return his calls.
“When I heard that Mikel (Obi) was injured I tried severally to get him on phone to ask after his health but surprisingly he did not pick the calls. I sent text messages too but up till now that I speak with you he hasn’t called back or sent me text.
“This is unlike him anyway and it doesn’t mean that I won’t try to call him again. Since he is a member of the team, my duty is to call every member of the team to know their well-being and condition. I also believe that he will call me since we have the national business to do together”, Keshi told NationSport in Abuja yesterday.
The former International popularly called The Big Boss, however, confirmed being in touch with Stoke City striker Osaze Odemwingie who had a surgery September last year and just back to the pitch playing for Stoke City.
“I have been in constant touch with Osaze since he had his surgery and I am happy he is back on the pitch playing again. I spoke with him again three days ago (Tuesday). I have been calling all the members of this team and I can assure you that they are all ready for the task ahead”, Keshi also told NationSport.
