I can't gamble Nigeria's qualifying chances with Iheanacho - Keshi

 Our source said Keshi initially had Iheanacho firmly in his plans for the Super Eagles  post World Cup commitment, but his failure to listen to Keshi’s advice angered the Big Boss.
“Nigerians love to talk and make issues out of non issue, was it not Keshi who first called up Iheanacho last year against all odds and complains?” he asked.

“Are you aware that Iheanacho would have gone to the Africa Nations Championship(CHAN) early this year? But he absconded from Camp to push through his move to Man City.

“Keshi adviced him to stay until after CHAN and improve his worth with a super showing at the tournament but he ignored and wasted a good chance, maybe he might have gone to the World Cup.

“He is paying for it now, because the CHAN would have been the best avenue to introduce him to senior football with less pressure, the AFCON 2015 qualifiers is too dicey to gamble on a youngster.”

However, he assured that Keshi still has Iheanacho within his sight but only after qualification for AFCON is guaranteed.
“No sane coach will ignore such a special talent but he isn’t worth the gamble of risking our qualifiers, after that he will be considered.”
