Jonathan Akpoborie Is At It Again, Picks Holes In Nomination Of Yobo For World Cup

Former Wolfsburg striker and retired Nigeria international Jonathan Akpoborie is not pleased with Stephen Keshi&rsquo;s decision to name Norwich stopper Joseph Yobo on his preliminary World Cup squad list. <div><br /></div> <div>Despite claims by the Nigeria skipper that he is in shipshape, he has spent more than one month on the sidelines due to calf complaint.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>&ldquo;Why is Joseph Yobo on the list? Keshi is purposely carrying an injured player to the World Cup. It is not right. If Nigerians don&rsquo;t speak, at the next World Cup, they will make the same mistake.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>&ldquo;As for Martins, he is past his prime and we should give the young strikers a chance. I won&rsquo;t complain about his omission. He did not do well in his last game against Kenya,&nbsp;&rdquo; Jonathan Akpoborie said to <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>33 - year - old Joseph Yobo has not suited up for the Nigeria selection for the past one year, with his last appearance coming against Burkina Faso in the final of the African Cup.</div> <div><br /></div> <div>Photo Credit : tff.org</div>
