Nigeria claims Enyeama rift a misunderstanding

Lille goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama will remain with the Nigerian national team despite reports he was expelled on Tuesday.

The Nigerian Football Federation (NFF) labeled a reported rift in the national team camp as just a "misunderstanding."

Reports suggested there was a confrontation between Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh and Lille goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama as the side prepares for its African Nations Championship qualifier against Burkina Faso, as well as a friendly against Cameroon.

It was alleged that Enyeama was expelled from the camp in Belgium, but the NFF said on Twitter that the situation had been resolved.
