There is a subdued anger in the camp of the Super Eagles, with the third place match against Egypt today preventing it from blowing over.
Sports Vanguard gathered that almost all the players are not happy with Samuel Chukwueze for missing the penalty against the host, Morocco and are showing disdain towards him.
The Fulham loanee approached the penalty kicks without emotion as he was seen chewing gum before the infamous kick and his reaction afterwards was said to have infuriated the players, especially the senior ones.
Any player can miss a penalty, afterall, Bruno missed too. But Chukwueze’s emotions after he missed his kick got some of the senior players pissed off. He was not professional with his behavior,” a source close to the team disclosed.
It was however gathered that Chukwueze wasn’t supposed to play the semifinal match against Morocco because he was nursing a groin injury.
