Nigeria striker Osaze Odemwingie has taken to his Twitter page to accuse coach Samson Siasia of having “issues”.<\/b><\/p>\n

Odemwingie is believed to be upset that his attitude was questioned after he opted not to play in the Super Eagles’ friendly against Kenya on Tuesday. <\/p>\n

After playing in Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations qualifier against Ethiopia, he flew back to England on Monday. <\/p>\n

Odemwingie implied in his Twitter rant that that he opted out of the Kenya friendly because of injury. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

He wrote: “Unlike me my finishing in training today was good. Hearing something that Siasia is angry I left. He needs to think a bit or he got issues.” <\/p>\n

He later deleted the comment but not before dozens of his followers had voiced their disapproval, with one urging him to “calm down”. <\/p>\n

In another post, he said: “Managed to play the official. A friendly in a empty stadium, struggling with an injury preferred not to play. And it became an issue???” <\/p>\n

According to the BBC’s Oluwashina Okeleji in Lagos, there is more to Odemwingie’s comments than meets the eye. <\/p>\n

He said Siasia’s approach has upset many senior players who are used to having their way. <\/p>\n

“His training methods, his unguarded outbursts, attitude and treatment of older players is causing disaffection in his new Super Eagles – more like a time bomb,” Okeleji said. <\/p>\n
