Obanor Starts Training In Atlanta; Declared Fit To Represent Nigeria At Olympics
Published: July 18, 2016
Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Greuther Fürth stopper Erhun Obanor will start training with Nigeria’s U23 national team on Monday, July 18.
Erhun Obanor jetted into Atlanta, United States on Sunday at approximately 1600 hours from Paris, which is 2100 hours in Nigeria.
Dream Team VI coach Samson Siasia had granted him permission to travel to Germany, where he underwent trials with Greuther Fürth before penning a 3+2 year contract last Friday.
A product of BJ Foundation, the defender missed out on the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations, with Siasia and his lieutenants claiming that he had a hole in his heart but tests conducted later proved otherwise.
Because of these cock and bull stories, Obanor underwent rigorous medical screening before he was offered a contract by the German 2 Bundesliga club.
