13 Days To Go And Counting : Nigerian Federation Frustrated In Pursuit Of Chelsea Right Back

The Nigerian Federation have been left frustrated in their pursuit of Chelsea loanee Ola Aina, with only thirteen days left before a World Cup qualifier against Cameroon in Uyo.

Feelers received from Abuja indicate that the versatile Hull City defender is unlikely to make his international debut for the Super Eagles or invited for that matter, for the simple reason that Fifa has not yet approved his one-time change of association from England to Nigeria.

''Gernot Rohr was impressed with Ola Aina during the training camp in England and he has been doing well since his move to Hull City,'' a Nigeria Football Federation insider told allnigeriasoccer.com.

''We were hoping he will be called up for the matches against Cameroon but Fifa has not yet cleared him to play for Nigeria.

''The Nigerian Federation have to hasten the process.''

Nigeria will battle Cameroon in the third round of the World Cup qualifiers in Uyo on September 1, before tackling the same opponents three days later in Yaounde.
