Joseph Yobo lost his first team in the Eagles to youngster Kenneth Omeruo at the 2013 AFCON in South Africa and even when Omeruo was sidelined by injury, he was not recalled and instead Warri Wolves defender Azubuike Egwuekwe.
Nigeria coach, Stephen Keshi, is planning to bring Joseph Yobo back to the team to play for Nigeria at the 2014 World Cup. The last World Cup he featured was in 2002 and 2010.
Keshi said "Yobo is very much alive in this team than any other player. Yobo and I spoke before the game against Ethiopia and our ambition is to make sure that he gets that 100th cap and by God’s grace he will get it.”
Keshi was asked if Yobo has agreed to come back and play for Nigeria and he said "We have been talking and he has said no problems so, why not, if he is here he would have his hundredth cap and if he is in shape, why not the World Cup?”
