Oboabona misses training again, Keshi optimistic of his recovery

Oboabona may miss Bosnia match

Super Eagles defender Godfrey Oboabona missed a second training in Campinas on Wednesday despite coach Stephen Keshi’s assurances the player could be fit in time for the clash against Bosnia Saturday.

Oboabona suffered a foot injury during Nigeria opening Group F match against Iran and was thereafter forced out in the first half.

A scan later showed he did not suffer a fracture in the foot.

"Yes, I have received the medical reports on Godfrey and we are still very hopeful that before the D-day he may still make it.

“Let’s just be hopeful because he is an important player in the team," Keshi said.
