The chances of AC Milan youth team star Victor Eletu representing Nigeria at the U20 World Cup which begins in Argentina on the 20th is under threat OGN can exclusively reveal.
Eletu was named in the final 21 man squad of Nigeria for the tournament but with just around ten days to the first game of Nigeria against Dominican Republic, he is yet to arrive the camp of the team much to the disappointment of head coach Ladan Bosso.
In a chat with OGN, Bosso said Eletu was originally billed to be in the camp last week before their departure to Argentina but claimed he missed his flight after their last game in the league.
” Eletu was supposed to be with us since last week. They said he missed his flight and will join us in Argentina, it’s one week since that time and now the new arrival date is for this weekend. I have set an ultimatum of Saturday for him, if he doesn’t make it here before then he will be replaced”, an angry Bosso said.
” I included him in the team because it was said that he will be with us three week to the tournament but since that decision his arrival has been a bit of a game to me and I am tired of it already. My team isn’t built around one player and if I don’t see him, I advice he doesn’t bother to come”, he stated.
A source close to his representative also expressed his unhappiness with the conduct of the player’s agent who he said gave him his words that the boy will be in the camp three weeks to the start of the tournament but failed to keep his words.
” I am not happy with the agent. Everything looks like they knew what they were doing from the get go about his release. It was from he will be in camp after the game last Friday to he missed his flight and now till after another game. That’s not being honest and I agree with the decision of the coach if he decides to replace him”, he said with an angry tone.
