Etebo Communicating With UK Embassy, No Visa Yet & Same Goes For Akpeyi
Published: March 21, 2017
About 48 hours before Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr holds a team meeting to announce the eleven players that will step out onto the Hive Stadium turf to face Senegal, Oghenekaro Etebo is stranded in Portugal due to a visa hitch, allnigeriasoccer.com understands.
The CD Feirense attacking midfielder is doing everything possible to get the traveling document, including communicating directly, phone calls and emails, with the Consulado General Britanico staff in Madrid.
Unlike the case of Chippa United goalkeeper Daniel Akpeyi, where he was informed that his visa is ready, Etebo has no idea when he will be issued the visa.
Akpeyi could not pick up the traveling document today because South Africans are marking their Human Rights Day and the offices are closed.
Bearing it in mind that Saturday and Sunday are non-working days, the two important Super Eagles players have three days left to get a positive feedback from the British embassies or forget about their participation in the friendlies with Senegal (March 23) and Burkina Faso (March 27).
