| Bright Dike |
Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi was practically in tears on Tuesday when he learnt of the injury to Toronto FC of Canada forward, Bright Dike. The attacker had been marked for a possible place in the Nigeria team for the 2014 World Cup.
Keshi is already making effort to reach the medics of the player’s club to know the extent of the injury. The 27-year-old tore his Achilles tendon for the second time in three years during a club training session on Monday.
Keshi said, “No, no, this is very sad. I can’t believe this is happening to a player with such enthusiasm to play for Nigeria at the highest level; we will surely miss him. If it’s true he will not be ready on time for the World Cup. I can’t think of any replacement for now until we get to the real facts of the matter.”
Keshi is in Florianopolis, Brazil attending a FIFA seminar along with coaches of other qualified nations and their officials. The coach added that he is praying for the other players.
“We just have to commit all the other players to God’s hands,” he said.
