The Lille goalkeeper’s parent has passed away and it is the reason
for his opting out of the Nigeria game against the Taifa Stars Vincent Enyeama’s mother has passed away it has emerged, hours after
Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh told media that the goalkeeper opted out of
the Super Eagles ahead of their trip to Tanzania without an excuse. The 101-capped Enyeama posted a message on his Instagram page on
Wednesday afternoon apologizing to Nigeria fans but fell short of
stating the reason for his absence. However, it has been learnt
that the goalkeeper’s parent died and it was the reason for his
painfully written apology on Instagram.
“So sorry I won't make it
out there to wear this shirt,” Enyeama wrote alongside an artist’s
impression of him in a Nigeria jersey.
“So sorry that I won't be standing there singing the anthem of my sweet NIGERIA. #WEARENIGERIA.
“I wish that this darkness didn't come in daylight. I wish that I could
turn back the hand of time. I wish,I just wish that I could take away
this pain. Let the rain wash away this pain,” the bereaved player
concluded.
From me and my family I want to pour out my
heart to enyeama please take heart we really love you my mum is from
akwa ibom is just like I lost a relative also...thanks for your
services..May God give you the strength to overcome this lost.
