Efforts by national team handlers to raise a formidable home-based squad may be hindered now and again as some of the best players locally hardly play long enough to be part of the rebuilding process.
The latest case is that of Kalu Uche who is scheduled to depart for Morocco, this Saturday to put pen to paper for Wydad Athletic Club (WAC) of Morocco.
The Moroccan club is said to have finalised details with Enyimba International of Aba for the sleek striker and he is merely expected to go there and pen the deal.
Meanwhile, at least four players have been released by the national team technical crew for this weekend Charity Shield between league champions, Dolphins of Port Harcourt and Federation Cup kings, Heartland of Owerri in Kaduna, during the NFF Annual General Meeting.
Notable among them is Bathlomew Ibenegbu, Victor Michael, while two goalkeepers, Moses Ocheje and Godwin Paul, were also released for personal reasons by ever considerate handler Stephen Keshi.
