excused from camp and allowed to travel to Belgium on the advice of the team
medics.Thanks to the NFF.
Intensive
tests were carried out on him at the Mediapark Klinic, Cologne (Germany) where
doctors placed him on compulsory rest.
The former Super Eagles captain said he is overwhelmed by the messages
of support,well wishes and prayers he has been receiving from Nigerians.
"I
have been so touched and much moved, almost to tears by the prayers and good
wishes I have been receiving from Nigerians. I want to thank them so much for
the love and support.
"I
was told I should have rested a lot more than I did after the initial illness I
had when we concluded our Belgian tour earlier this month. The doctors
have now made the rest a compulsory one. I believe that after the two weeks I
would be fully recovered,"he explained.
Sunday Oliseh was discovered to have
contracted a viral infection in his system and would need to be monitored
during the period of rest to ensure complete recovery.
