Inter gives condition for Obi's release

Inter Milan will release Joel Obi to Nigeria for the final Olympic qualifiers once they qualify for the next round of the UEFA Champions League.

“Inter gave us a condition – Obi will be released to the team as soon as they have reached the next round of the Champions League,” a top Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) official told MTNFootball.com.

The Italian giants are top of the UEFA Group B. The 20 year-old Obi is eligible for the U23 championship in Morocco from November 26. He missed out on featuring at the recent FIFA U20 world Cup in Colombia, but now he has expressed his willingness to feature for Dream Team V at the Olympics. Austin Eguavoen will decide whether he could take a chance on the full international midfielder by including him on his final 21-man squad.

JOEL CHUKWUMA OBI was born in Lagos, Nigeria but unlike your typical Nigerian player, he has an abundance of skill, speed and tecnical ability but to match also is hard working and tough tackling.
