Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi, has ruled out any possibility of recalling Seattle Sounders striker, Obafemi Martins to the national team.
Martins, who has been in a rich vein of form for his Major League Soccer side, was hoping to resurrect his Eagles career.
But the Big Boss is not ready to be his genie in a bottle and grant his wishes.
“For Obafemi Martins, it’s good to indicate your interest to play for your country, as a former player of course,” Keshi told Brila FM.

“But we have other players out there in his position, younger players. So we have to give younger players a chance and the opportunity to grow.”
The 29-year-old last played for Nigeria against Kenya in 2013, and with Keshi still in charge of the team, it may well be his last.
