"They Never Contacted Me" - Ike Uche Debunks Keshi’s Claims

Embattled Super Eagles striker, Ikechukwu Uche, has reacted to comments credited to head coach, Stephen Keshi that he refused to honour a call-up to the national team. Keshi said earlier this week that Uche was contacted by the secretary of the Super Eagles, Dayo Enebi, to know if he had a South African visa ahead of the match against Bafana Bafana. Keshi also stated that he had included the striker in the team for the matches against Congo and South Africa, but chalked it off following what he claimed was a poor response from the forward to the Super Eagles’ secretary.

“Before the game against Congo, I did the list. Ike Uche’s name was on the list. He didn’t even know about it. Uche called me like four days later, and we spoke like brothers and that was it.

Uche has taken to his official Twitter page to respond to the claims, Below is what he said:
