AFCON star Sunday Mba is a major doubt for next month’s CHAN
as he is set to join up with French club Bastia, coach Stephen Keshi has said.
Keshi said on Thursday Mba, was on his way to France to join
Bastia, the French side who first indicated interest in him after the Nations
Cup triumph.
Assistant coach, Daniel Amokachi was to add that the player
could leave camp as early as Friday, as he was not one of the players listed
for the friendly in Port Harcourt on Saturday against a Rivers selected side.
“We have resigned ourselves to fate and working hard to
discover those who can fill Mba’s shoes, as he seems to have nicked a deal with
Bastia and may not be part of CHAN tourney. We just to brace up and wish him
the best because it’s a career thing,” he said.
Meanwhile EPL side Cardiff City is still keen to have
Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo, who they have been chasing before the start of
this season.
Cardiff City were in contact with the AFCON 2013 winner for
his signature in the summer, but met with no success.
The former Everton defender is poised to part ways with
Fenerbahce this winter window after he has been consigned to the bench and
Cardiff are ready to come in for the Nigerian, according to fanatik.com
