Although Neftchi started training on January 4, the Nigerian legionnaire is still in his homeland, Offsideplus.az reports. Yusuf appealed to the relevant authority regarding the expiration of his passport. However, the submission of a new passport is delayed.
Rustam Allahverdiyev, head of the club's Marketing and Press Relations Department, told our website: "Yusuf Lawal has a passport problem, he can't solve it. There is no problem with our footballer. He has submitted the necessary documents and is waiting for an answer." "They said they would present a new passport today. They will fly to Baku as soon as they receive their passports. "
