Richard Eromoigbe’s long-awaited debut for Globacom Premier League side, Warri Wolves, is being held up by the Russian Football Federation, Naijaligue.blogspot.com understands.
General Manager, Media of Warri Wolves, Timi Ebikagboro, disclosed on Wednesday afternoon that the club is now waiting for the Russian federation to issue a clearance certificate for the player to feature in the Premier League campaign this season.
Ebikagboro also offered that the player has been cleared by the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) but it is the Russian FA that is still holding back the midfielder from making his debut.
The Warri Wolves’ official also revealed that the club has written the Russian federation and hopes that Eromoigbe would be cleared before the end of this year since he last played for FC Khimki of Russia.
“We have been able to secure his clearance from the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), and he is part of our squad now. But on the international level, we have not been fortunate so far. But we have contacted the Russian FA and they are the ones keeping us waiting from playing the player since he has been cleared in Nigeria.
“But we have also decided to include him in our list for the CAF Confederation Cup for next year because we are confident that we will secure the clearance certificate before next year when the CAF Confederation Cup will begin,” Ebikagboro told Naijaligue.blogspot.com.
Eromoigbe joined the Russian outfit on February 26, 2008 for a fee of around €1.5 million and was released on September 15 this year.
