Coach of the senior national team of Nigeria Eric Chelle won’t be calling Getafe midfielder Uche Chrisantus to the team in the nearest future after he failed to honour the invitation to be a part of the team for the Unity Cup friendly tournament in England, OwnGoalNigeria.com can exclusively reveal.
Uche was handed a first time call up by Chelle after an impressive debut campaign in the Spanish top division. He was signed from third division side Cueta in the summer and he found the transition really easy to make.
In the recently concluded season , he made a total of 33 appearances in the league scoring five goals and also six assists playing majorly as the main striker or just behind the main man in attack.
He was rewarded for his performance with a call up to the squad for the Unity Cup, but failed to honor the call up as he is the only player yet to arrive in the camp of the team , who got their campaign underway yesterday with a 2-1 win over Ghana.
Chelle who is big on team’s discipline and commitment was very disappointed in the attitude of the 22 year old, and sources say he might not get a look in anytime soon.
Already they have started plans to replace him in the squad before the team’s final game of the tournament against Jamaica in the final game of the tournament.
