Keshi told allnigeriasoccer.com in a telephone conversation: ''I understand he (Joel Obi, ed) just resumed training. I have not yet discussed with him if he would love to play for the Eagles so soon . I have to call him to ask him if he's in good physical condition to make the game against Liberia.''
