AFP - Former Nigeria skipper Sunday Oliseh,
fired by German club VfL Bochum, will be given a chance to return to his
country's team, according to coach Christian Chukwu.
"I'm disappointed by Oliseh's conduct but we will not abandon him," Chukwu
said Tuesday. "Before his problem he was in brilliant form and as such we
will reconsider him for the team."
Oliseh has stayed away from the national team since the African Nations Cup
in Mali two years ago after a widely-publicised fallout with the soccer
authorities and he has insisted his international future is over.
The 29-year-old midfielder was released by Bundesliga side Bochum recently
after assaulting teammate Valid Hashemian following a disagreement.
His club career is in great doubt now as he is expected to head back to
Borussia Dortmund, where he was surplus to requirements and so was sent on
loan to Bochum.
