Nigeria Federation Insists Enyeama Must Be In Camp January 5

The Nigeria Football Federation has rejected the pleas of Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv to keep Super Eagles custodian Vincent Enyeama for two extra days, writes one.co.il.

Next Monday, on January 7th, the log leaders travel to face current champions Ironi Kiryat Shmona in an important league match. The decision by the NFF is a big blow to The Yellows as new signing Tomer Chencinski is ineligible to start playing in the championship until January 9th, the date the transfer window officially opens in Israel.

Today, the Nigeria Federation informed the Maccabi Tel Aviv hierarchy that Enyeama must report to Faro, Portugal latest Saturday, January 5.

Inexperienced goalkeeper Barak Levi, whose performance was shaky against Hapoel Haifa in the cup, is tipped to replace Enyeama in goal.
