FC Porto are unhappy with the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) after their request for Zaidu Sanusi to delay his arrival to the Nigeria national team camp for the Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Morocco was rejected.
Porto reached out to the NFF for an extension, but were flatly told that Zaidu must report to the camp of the Nigerian team in Egypt after their weekend game, and not allowed to play any other game for them.
Zaidu is already in the Super Eagles camp and he is expected to play some role in tomorrow’s friendly game against Egypt, which is their only test in the build up to the tournament which begins on the 21st of December.
Nigeria will play their first game against Tanzania on the 23rd of December in the tournament, where they are expected to go one step better than last time out where they lost in the final to the host Cote d’Ivoire 1-2.
