Nigeria coach Eric Sekou Chelle refused to be drawn into the on and off-field controversies that have plagued his team, insisting that his sole focus remains on Saturday's Africa Cup of Nations quarterfinal against Algeria despite recent squad disruptions.
The Super Eagles have endured a turbulent week that saw forwards Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman involved in an on-field altercation during their round of 16 game against Mozambique, while players threatened to boycott training over unpaid win bonuses.
"My job is to try to stay focused about only what happens on the pitch and not outside," Chelle said. "If you have other questions about things outside the pitch, you have to ask my federation. My responsibility is on things that happen on the pitch."
