The media was awash yesterday with various lists  on the team but Super Eagles Media Officer, Ben Alaiya dismissed them as “speculative.”

He said, “Head Coach Stephen Keshi said he has heard of a list making the rounds in Nigeria but urged soccer-loving Nigerians to ignore the lists purportedly issued by him.

“We will give out the names of the 23 man squad on Wednesday. I plead with Nigerians to be a little bit patient with us because it’s a difficult thing to do”.
