I knew Yobo will return to Eagles----Keshi

NIGERIA Coach Stephen Keshi has said that Joseph Yobo has convinced him enough of his readiness to
return to the Super Eagles after one year of absence hence, the invitation of the defender for next month's friendly against Mexico billed for the United States.
Keshi said that there was no way he could have left Yobo out of the national team again given his awe inspiring form.
Yobo on loan from Fenerbahce of Turkey to Norwich City dazzled in his debut game last week
against Manchester City in a Barclays Premier League game which ended in a goalless draw leaving many Nigerians satisfied that he could still play for his fatherland.
The former Everton player remains the most capped Nigeria player with 95 caps and his chance of
hitting 100 caps has now received a boost with his invitation for the Mexico clash.
"I had told you before that Yobo was a part of this team. That when the time is right, he would make a return. Now Yobo is ready and he is making his comeback," Keshi said from his base in the Unites States on holidays.
The former coach of Togo stated that "there are several players I invited also whom I have not seen since last year. There is a need to see them again and know how ready they are and see if the fresh ones can fit in to our plans for the World Cup".
It will be recalled that Yobo last played for Nigeria in February last year at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa won by the Super Eagles.
