Ahead World Cup: Mikel, Moses give Keshi sleepless nights

HEAD Coach of Nigeria, Stephen Keshi is having sleepless nights over the inablity of John Obi Mikel and
Victor Moses to play regularly for their clubs in England, as the duo remain integral part of the Super Eagles squad to the forthcoming World Cup in Brazil.
"It's unfortunate that Mikel and Moses are not playing at their clubs regularly but these kids are good football players," Keshi declared at a Tom Tom roundtable forum on Tuesday in Lagos.
He continued: "I would love them to be consistent at their clubs, to play every game but unfortunately I can't control that.
"I think they're in good shape because when I saw Mikel in the last game (against Mexico), he was sharp.
"I spoke to Moses about what is going on and he gave me an answer that I cannot say otherwise. It's difficult but I still need them, the team needs them".
The former coach of Togo and Mali however, stressed that Mikel and Moses do not need rudimentary
lessons to fit into the national team saying that "They are not kids that I need to teach how to play football but it's just the chemistry that I need to bring into the team, I mean the unity, the understanding"
Moses has not been having a fair playing time since he joined Liverpool on loan this season as manager Brendan Rodgers prefers Raheem Sterling to the guy who won the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in South Africa with Nigeria.
Also, Mikel in Chelsea has equally be confined to the bench since the arrival of Nemanja Matic at Stamford Bridge.

"We would have all loved to be at the wedding but this will not be possible because of the match on Sunday but we have all resolved to win this match for the new couple as that is the debt we owe him in particular. Those who are not listed for the match will surely be at the wedding," Wolves assistant Captain, Uche Ossai said.
Egwuekwe speaking on the marriage expressed gratitude to God for helping him to get a suitable life partner who loves him just as he urged teammates to win Sunday's continental game for him.
"I want to really thank God as He has done much for me especially in picking the right lady for me. I want to appeal to the players to play their hearts out on Sunday and give us victory as a gift.The only thing I want from them is victory and if they can do that, we will be happy," the longish defender said.
