Brazil 2014: Keshi Won't Name 40-man Squad


Super Eagles chief coach, Stephen Keshi, has said that he would not be naming a 40-man World Cup squad because the number is too large.
"I do not need a 40-man squad. I just need a number that will not distract us from what we want to do but it won't be up to 40."
Of that number, Keshi says that up to five could come from the bronze-winning CHAN team.
"I have from one to five players from this team that will be in that team.
"Everybody would have equal opportunities to get in the team that goes to the World Cup, so they would have to work hard."
Despite finishing third, Keshi says he remains proud of the efforts the players put in.
"They were great. People don't realise how hard these boys worked. But they gave everything and I'm proud of them."
