UPDATE: Joseph Yobo missing passport news is a rumour. This what the Nigerian Super Eagles captain has to say about the passport saga.

"I have my international passport to enter into my country. What happened was that the residence permit got missing in my old passport.

"All I need is the assistance of the Nigeria Football Federation to contact the Turkish Embassy in Nigeria so that work can start on a new residence permit immediately.

"I have already been assured by the NFF that they will promptly get in touch with the Embassy of Turkey to explain to them what has happened. The NFF has confidence in the Embassy of Turkey to sort out this issue as the Embassy has always been very co-operative.

"I believe that I will be able to get a new residence permit to travel to Turkey after the match against Guinea," said Yobo who will earn his 83rd international cap against the Syli Nationale. He plays professionally for Turkish top club, Fenerbahce.
