LONDON: Veteran striker Peter Odemwingie launched a furious broadside at Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi over his surprise omission from the Africa Cup of Nations squad for the tournament which gets under way in South Africa next month.
The 31-year-old West Brom striker who has appeared at four Nations Cups - accused Keshi of disrespect in not informing him personally of his decision not to include him.
“Every manager has got his own plans and tactics - if I don’t figure in your plans, please be honest to tell me directly,” Odemwingie told BBC Sport.
“For 10 years I gave my all to the country as a player on the pitch, played for the nation and fans, not individuals,” added Odemwingie, who last played for his country in February. AFP
