Joseph Yobo’s return to the Nigerian national team is expected to happen soon. After some disagreements with coach Stephen Keshi, Yobo has not featured in the national team since the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations victory. However, discussions between Yobo and Keshi have reportedly cleared up misunderstandings.
During a recent press briefing, Coach Keshi emphasized that Yobo is still an integral part of the team, and their aim is to help him reach his 100th cap. While the coach did not specify the exact timing of Yobo’s return, sources suggest that the defender, currently with 99 caps, is likely to make his comeback during Nigeria’s preparation matches for the 2014 World Cup.
