Falcons of Nigeria Chief Coach, Ismaila Mabo says he is worried about the current form of striker Yusuf Olaitan who just left to the US to pursue an academic career.
Olaitan Yusuf left the shores of Nigeria about three weeks ago, after gaining admission to Geogia State University on Scholarship and Coach Mabo says he is worried about her present state.
He told www.nigeriasports.com that he does not know if she has settled down enough to honour the match and be in the right shape.
"I know she left Nigeria some time in early December but that is the much i know about her. I should get a clearer picture within the next two weeks and if i am certain she cannot come, I will have to look for a replacement for her"
Mabo said he was not consulted before she she left because he had never tried to interfere with players' career moves.
"I'm not one to say if Olaitan's US move is the best for her at this time because I try not to intefere in their career moves. I beleive every footballer knows what is best for her career so i just wish them the best in whatever decision they make."
