Published: April 24, 2014According to leaks gathered by allnigeriasoccer.com’s editorial staff, Norwich City center back Joseph Yobo should be prepared to wave goodbye to the World Cup and that elusive 100th cap that he has been targeting.
Manager Stephen Keshi sensationally dropped the experienced defender from the 38 - man provisional squad list submitted to the Nigeria Football Federation chiefs on Tuesday.
