Etebo Withdraw From Super Eagles Squad for Brazil

Stoke City midfielder, Oghenekaro Etebo is the latest Super Eagles player to stepdown from competing against Brazil in Singapore.

The ex-Warri Wolves star joins the likes of Olaoluwa Aina, Samuel Kalu and Kenneth Omeruo by opting out the high profile encounter so late.

Gaffer, Gernot Rohr have decided not to invite replacements for Torino defender, Ola Aina who sustained domestic injury and Etebo.

Super Eagles are thereby reduced to a squad of 21 players as the go all-out with the current South American Champions on Sunday.
