Interim coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Austine Eguavoen has revealed that he will include Huesca midfielder Kelechi Nwakali in his squad base on one key condition.
Eguavoen confirmed the Super Eagles provisional list of players for the Africa Cup of Nations has been submitted already by his predecessor Gernot Rohr without Nwakali’s name.
He however said he is looking at the possibility of adding the midfielder alongside others if CAF permits altering of the list submitted by Rohr as stipulated by the rule governing the tournament.
“I just said if time permits, if it is permitted to alter the list, I’ll bring in two or three players but I have to speak with the federation first and then they will contact CAF, if it is possible”, he told Bunmi Blair of Nigerian InfoFM.
“Yes but as we speak right now, myself and Kelechi we spoke, but he is not on that list that was submitted to CAF. If there is a possibility, yes I like the kid”, he concluded.
