The Seattle Sounders man has been handed a call up to the Nigeria side for next month's World Cup qualifiers against Swaziland by coach Sunday Oliseh Seattle Sounders' Obafemi Martins has been recalled by coach Sunday Oliseh to the Nigeria side that will play next month's double World Cup qualifying matches against Swaziland. The 31-year-old had been out of the Super Eagles since 2013 when he played in a World Cup qualifier under Stephen Keshi.

He had talked about retiring from the national side after being ignored by the former coach who he claimed did not like him. The Sounders striker has been in impressive form this year scoring 15 goals in Major League Soccer (MLS) so far. He made his Nigeria debut more than a decade ago and has 18 goals in 39 appearances. Oliseh announced his squad of 23 invitees for the double-header against Swaziland on Thursday afternoon with the inclusion of several young players that include Arsenal’s Alex Iwobi, Feirense goalkeeper Dele Alampasu and Genk midfielder Wilfred Ndidi.

Speaking for the first time about Emmanuel Emenike’s sudden retirement from Super Eagles after only 5 years, Coach Sunday Oliseh said he was surprised by the announcement and wasn’t informed by the footballer. “It was a big shocker for us and a big shocker for me personally. I still don’t accept that he has retired because officially I have not heard anything from him and I don’t think the Federation has heard from him, only what we know is what was posted on social media,” Oliseh told Sports radio Brila FM yesterday Oliseh said he tried reaching out to Emenike on phone after hearing about his retirement but got no response.

Super Eagles Manager, Sunday Oliseh, has been flown to Belgium for urgent treatment as his health condition continues to deteriorate. Naijaloaded reports. A statement from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), via its Twitter account reads. “Coach Sunday Oliseh has returned to Belgium to continue treatment after being advised by Eagles medics. “He became dizzy and weak after lunch on Thursday and he travels abroad tonight through the Port Harcourt Airport.”

Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh has said Vincent Enyeama’s retirement from the national team is very sad, as he finally opened up on the incidents that have shaken the Super Eagles since Tuesday. Enyeama, the country’s most capped player, announced his retirement via Instagram on Thursday after alleging insults to his mother as well as being thrown out of the national camp by hotel security in Verviers, Belgium. However, coach Oliseh has debunked the claims, stating that he was surprised by the goalkeeper’s allegations on social media, something that has turned many fans against him as the team lost 2-0 to Congo DR in a friendly on Thursday night.

In an interview on Brila FM, Oliseh stated that the goalkeeper had insisted on airing his views during dinner after Tuesday’s training, despite the coach’s instruction to stand down and allow his observations be discussed at another time. The goalkeeper was unhappy with the fact that he was overlooked as captain of the side in favour of Ahmed Musa during a routine meet and greet with the Nigerian ambassador to Belgium after their work out. The coach said he told Enyeama to either remain quiet or excuse himself from dinner to enable him address the other players. Oliseh stated that a few of the senior players attempted to calm the goalkeeper before leading him away from the room. He said he didn’t call security to take him out and was surprised to find out that Enyeama claimed on Instagram that he was thrown out by security and that his mother had been insulted.

 “How can I insult your mother? Never did the issue of Vincent Enyeama’s mother come up, ” said Oliseh, while stating that Musa and John Obi Mikel came to his room to apologize on behalf of the goalkeeper and he had forgiven the Lille player. The coach said that Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick mediated in the crisis and asked Enyeama to apologise to the coach but he didn’t. Enyeama decided to leave camp on Thursday following the invitation of young goalkeeper Dele Alampasu as back up for the two goalkeepers in case of any injuries. Oliseh said there was joke about preparing goalkeeper coach Alloy Agu as back up in case the need arose. "He said because I invited Alampasu, he’s going,” Oliseh said.

Enyeama then announced his retirement from the team after 13 years in a very emotional post on Instagram, stating that “it’s been the most trying period of my life”. “It’s very sad,” Oliseh said about the goalkeeper’s retirement while hoping that the team gets back on its feet soon enough for Sunday’s friendly against Cameroon. Despite the 2-0 defeat to Congo, Oliseh took positives from the performances of Mikel and debutant Alex Iwobi, while stating that the reason for the friendly matches is so that the team can have better understanding ahead of the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh is not Nigeria’s favorite at the moment. First we lost Enyeama after a tussle with him, & now we lost 2-0 in a friendly with Dr Congo.

The Nigeria Football Federation has ruled out trying to persuade goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama to return the Super Eagles. Enyeama on his Instagram page on Thursday said he had decided to retire from the national team after 13 years of service. Spokesman for the NFF Ademola Olajire was quoted by the News Agency of Nigeria as saying on Thursday, “We heard about his quitting the national team on his Instagram page. If somebody says he is retiring from the national team, what are we going to do, to beg him? “We don’t know if he is leaving the national team because of his quarrel with the coach (Sunday Oliseh). He just wrote on his Instagram page that he was leaving the national team. So, why should we be finding out whether he left because of the rift? “The player has gone out of the camp, what do you want us to do. He has left the camp and he did not tell anybody that he was leaving.” France-based keeper Enyeama quarrelled with Oliseh in Belgium on Tuesday after the Eagles manager decided to the strip him of the team’s captaincy in favour of Ahmed Musa. Enyeama had reported late to camp for the Eagles’ friendly games against DR Congo and Cameroon, after staying back in Nigeria last weekend to be involved in the burial of his mother in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State.
