Nigeria’s women’s football coach, Eucharia Uche has expressed anger at the failure of players to turn up in camp ahead of the decisive Olympic qualifier against Cameroon.
Only five players have turned up at the preparatory camp which opened on September 29 in Abuja leaving the gaffer furious.
The five players currently in camp are Precious Dede, Ezinne Mbalisi, Rose Umeh, Augusta and Asisat Oshaola.
“Any player who does not report to camp by Monday 3rd should do well to remain in their houses”she said.
“We all know how important this return leg is and the players are not here yet.
I and my assistants have agreed to give them till Monday before we call up new players"".
"We just finished watching the Super Six and Challenge cup matches and so we have
a plethora of players to call up as replacements”coach Uche explained.
Nigeria beat Cameroon 2-1 in the first leg of the final round of qualifying for the 2012 Olympic Women’s football event in Abuja in August.
A 1-0 victory for Cameroon’s Indomitable Lionesses in the return fixture on October 22 in Yaounde will see the Central Africans progress to the Olympic tournament.
