The Super Eagles Physiotherapist, Nnaemeka Anozie and Equipment Manager, Chidi Ngoka, were denied visas by the Austria Embassy in Abuja.
Team Administrator Dayo Achor explained that the Embassy refused the officials entry visas despite arrangements for the travelling documents submitted “several months ago”.
As per thenff.com Achor said, “We are stunned by the action of the Austrian Embassy. How will the team cope without the physiotherapist and the equipment manager? Everyone is disappointed with this.”
Anozie and Ngoka have been with the team through the Russia 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying series.
The Super Eagles will travel to Austria from London and conclude the final phase of their World Cup preparation at the Avita Resort in Bad Tatzmannsdorf.
They are billed to be there before flying to Yessentuki; the team base camp at the World Cup, on 11th June.
