Super Eagles Former Coach, Samson Siasia has pleaded with Nigerian football fans to allow Mikel Obi to sort out his club future before he returns to the national team. The former Eagles striker told www.adantesports.com.ng from his base in the U.S. yesterday that there were two key things the player must sort out before he rejoining the national team. "Everybody knows that Mikel is a patriotic and devoted captain of the Super Eagles. To the best of my knowledge, he will never shirk his responsibility as Eagles Captain.
