Kayode Joins Super Eagles Camp In Controversial Circumstances, Suspended After Getting Himself Booked

Austria Vienna striker Olarenwaju Kayode is on his way to Paris to link up with the Super Eagles ahead of their international friendly with Togo on June 1.

Initially, the ex-Golden Eaglets and Flying Eagles star had been omitted from the roster due to club commitments with the Austrian Bundesliga side.

'Fortune smiled on Kayode' after he picked up his fifth yellow card in domestic competitions in Thursday's Bundesliga clash against Red Bull Salzburg, which automatically triggered a one-game suspension and ruled him of the final game of the season against Admira on Sunday.

It has been suggested that the leading marksman in Austria deliberately got himself booked in the 83rd minute of the contest against Salzburg.

The Nigeria international was cautioned in the closing minutes of the last two games in the Bundesliga, and was last booked six months ago (November 27 against Wolfsberger ) before the strange episodes.
