Versatile former international Garba Lawal has disagreed with Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi’s decision to exclude Seattle Sounders new signing Obafemi Martins from his programme for the 2014 World Cup qualifiers and the FIFA Confederations Cup.
The veteran striker was anonymous during the March 23 Group F World Cup qualifying game against the Harambee Stars of Kenya in Calabar, forcing Keshi, who named a 30-man squad for the national team’s matches between June and July, to deny him a place in the squad.
However, Atlanta ’96 Olympic gold medallist Lawal insists the Eagles manager has made a mistake leaving his former teammate in the national team out in the cold, saying his experience will be vital to the team during the qualifiers.
