Nkume faces Siasia wrath

Flying Eagles defender Alex Nkume was on Monday thrown out of camp by coach Samson Siasia on Monday after the player returned from trials to Europe.

Nkume reportedly left camp to go on trials without informing the coaches and Siasia was left fuming when the player returned.

"He sneaked off to go on trials and then he just tried to walk back into camp," Siasia said. "I threw him out. He should go back to where he came from."

However, following entreaties, Siasia finally allowed the player back in, but made it clear there would be repercussions.

"He will have to face some disciplinary measures," the former forward said. "We cant have players just abandoning camp and going off on trials because it disrupts our preparations."

Siasia, who has also had to deal with a similar situation involving Kingsley Udoh, another defender, advised the players that with a little patience, they would not need to cheapen their value by going on trials.

"What better way to show yourself than at the World Cup in Egypt. A good performance there will have the clubs queuing up for them and t heir value will rise.

"Instead, they are going there on trials and effectively begging the clubs to sign them."
