Victor Moses gets squad number

Nigeria forward, Victor Moses has been assigned the number 20 Jersey on his return from Stoke City on loan. The move subtly reiterates Mourinho’s statement that the attacker is in his plans. 
Similarly, Academy players Dominic Solanke and Ola Aina who impressed in the youth team last season have also been handed the Number 35 and 34 Jersey respectively.

Nigeria's Victor Moses emotional about Chelsea exit

Nigerian winger, Victor Moses admits it was difficult leaving Chelsea again for another club. Apparently his heart is still with the Blues. The 23-year-old who recently joined Stoke City on a season-long loan wrote an emotional message on his twitter page.

“Hi everyone. I’m delighted to have joined Stoke City on loan. It was hard to leave Chelsea again but working with a progressive manager like Mark Hughes at Stoke is the perfect opportunity for me. Thanks for all of your support.”

"Keshi can do without me at the World Cup" – Osaze Odemwingie

Stoke City forward, Osaze Odemwingie strongly believes that the national team coach, Stephen Keshi can do without him at the forthcoming FIFA World Cup. This is coming few weeks after the Nigerian international mended bridges with the coach.
Many have suggested on various sports platforms that since the Super Eagles player who’s presently in an incredible form has done the needful and tendered his apology to Keshi, he deserves to be included in the World cup team. According to them, form is more important than attitude. Chiefly, Nigeria needs players who can add value to the team and make impact in the tournament.
The father of one told BBC Sport, “I have been speaking with the coach, it’s the only right thing to do. I had to be humble and make a step forward towards my senior colleagues. You can’t continue to stay in that angry state of mind. Staying in that state, it’s not the right thing to do. It’s never helpful for anyone
It was very disappointing at the time, it was hard to accept it. I had a strong feeling that it was Nigeria’s time to win it. I was as frustrated as any other player. For me to hear that was very important on a human level. It’s not about people, its always about the country. We’re all defending the colours of our nation.
Coach Keshi can do without me at the World Cup and my life will go on as well, but the most important thing is mutual respect. Now I know how he does things and how he wants things done and vice versa.”

Osaze Odemwingie likely to make Eagles comeback after apologising to Stephen Keshi

 
So Osaze Odemwingie finally got off his high horse. Good for him! Wise decision! Sure Super Eagles would be glad to welcome him back. There are strong indications that the Stoke City striker would make a comeback to Eagles after he apologised to the national team coach, Stephen Keshi.
It would be recalled that the England-based forward was dropped out of the squad after he threw tantrums at Keshi on twitter for substituting him during a Nations Cup match in Rwanda in 2012. A reliable source revealed that Keshi has accepted his apologies.
“Keshi is human and was touched by the change of heart of Osaze in asking for forgiveness. He(Keshi) wants the best for the Super Eagles. Since Osaze is doing well in his club and has shown remorse, he will soon open the doors for the ”prodigal son”.
