John Ogu had lost his place in the team because Academica de Coimbra were angry at him for leaving the club and going to play for Nigeria in a friendly game last year.
John Ogu had revealed this in a series of tweets the eve before Keshi revealed his 30 man list, Academica de Coimbra had refused to play him all through last season thereby making him unfit to be called up.
