Super Eagles captain and defender, Joseph Yobo is set to make his long
awaited comeback in the March 5 international friendly match with Mexico
in the United States, one of Stephen Keshi's top preparatory games
ahead of the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. And he stand a chance of
captaining Eagles in the World Cup if he passes Keshi's tests.
The big question is: can Yobo make a difference and take over his position, and solidify the Eagles' backline?
Yobo has not played for the super Eagles since featuring sparingly at
the 2013 AFCON in South Africa which Nigeria won? His widely publicized
row with Keshi over non invitation after the Nations Cup did not help
his cause till this latest call-up.
Many thought that Yobo had gone past his prime during the 2013 Nations
Cup, but his impressive performances for his former club Fenerbahce, and
now Norwich continued to make case for him, for a return to the
national team.
What is your opinion about Yobo's comeback? Can he plug any holes in the
Eagles' defence and improve the team's performance? Could his taking
over the captaincy from stand-in skipper, Vincent Enyeama better the lot
of the national team?
Have your say now!
