Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi maintains Joseph Yobo is still the Super Eagles captain, despite the fact he was left out of the the Abuja training camp.

The former Everton defender has 95 caps for Nigerian national team, but has been left out of the squad selected for the Nelson Mandela challenge as the team prepares for the upcoming CHAN qualifier against Cote d'Ivoire.

Keshi said the centre-back is still the team’s skipper, but he was left out of the squad in order to test some of his fringe players.

"It will not be fair to invite Yobo to the national team and asked him to be on the bench, it will be a huge disgrace and I won't be part of that," He said.

"When the team needs him he will be recalled and will definitely start as captain even if along the line we substitute him."
