Head Coach Stephen Keshi has however ruled out Babatunde from further participation in the event saying: “Unfortunately, he is ruled out of the tournament because it will take at least three weeks for that surgery to heal,”.

“It’s not looking good that he will feature again in the tournament, we are sad about that but we have people who can fill in for him very well and I think we have to go win for him now”, Keshi was quoted as saying.
Keshi also she some light on why Moses has not been present in the Team's last two games, revealing there is no issue between the two.

He said: “It’s purely medical; my last child is older than Moses, so why will I quarrel with my son? “People must find out facts and not speculate especially when we have a capable media person in our midst,’’.

“We can understand that all players want to play at the big stage but it’s up to us and the medical team to manage their career and balance it with due diligence regarding their health.

“That is why we have not played him, we hope he should be back in training later on Thursday,” Keshi said in the statement. Moses it would be recalled watched the last group match from the stands.
