Why Nigeria lost to Argentina... Obasi Was Injured

Chinedu Obasi's absence from the Olympic Games football final was due to a prior injury he sustained and not for any other reason.

Nigerians found it difficult to believe Obasi was not listed by Samson Siasia in the final game against Argentina on Saturday despite the work he did in Nigeria's wins over the Ivory Coast and Belgium.

However, KickOffNigeria.com can authoritatively reveal that Obasi was out with a stress fracture on his right leg.

He did not train for two days and since in the last two days, training sessions were closed to the media, the news hardly got out.

Obasi had been in devastating form for Nigeria at the games, crowning his performance with a brace in the semi final against Belgium.
