Supper Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi submits list to NFF.

Coach stephen Keshi has released a list of 38 players to be considered
for the Brazil 2014 World Cup campagn in June.
He submitted the list to the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) for
vetting ahead of the World Cup.

The NFF is expected to mandown the list to 30 players that will be
send to FIFA as the country's provisional World Cup squad by May 10.

Keshi met with the Technical Committee of the NFF in Abuja on Tuesday
afternoon, a meeting that lasted for about three hours.

Hopes that the provisional World Cup squad would be released
afterwards were dashed when Keshi emerged from the meeting without the
final list. He told the media that there will still be consultations
with NFF before the final announcement.

"I have about 37 to 38 players on my list from there I will select
about 30 players because that is what FIFA needs [as provisional list]
on May 10th, 2014," Keshi said.

He used the opportunity to deny that any list had been leaked to the media.

"I am worried about the list I have been reading on the pages of
newspapers. I did not make that list and I am not happy that you guys
are reporting this to mislead people," he said.

The waiting game therefore continues.
