Super Eagles head coach, Sunday Oliseh has been reportedly flown to
Belgium for treatment after his health condition worsened on Thursday.
With this development, the Super Eagles would be without coach Oliseh
when they travel later on Friday to Burkina Faso for the second leg CHAN
qualifier in Ouagadogou.
According to a tweet by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), via its Twitter
handle, @thenff , the former Nigeria captain, became dizzy and weak after
lunch today, and so had to be flown abroad tonight through the Port
Harcourt Airport.
The NFF said: “Coach Sunday Oliseh has returned to Belgium to continue
treatment after being advised by Eagles medics.
“He became dizzy and weak after lunch on Thursday and he travels abroad
tonight through the Port Harcourt Airport.”
Recall that Oliseh joined his assistants after undergoing treatment in
Belgium and was on the bench when the Eagles whipped the Etalons of
Burkina Faso 2-0 in Port Harcourt last week, in their first leg African Nations
Championship qualifying clash.
Very reliable sources informed Sports Vanguard that the Coach ”was not
himself and after being examined by the Eagles’ Doctor, he was advised to
return to Belgium to complete his treatment. ‘Yes, he’ll not travel with the
team to Ouagadogou. He’s off to Belgium on medical grounds,” the source
said.
