Yobo Dropped From Fenerbahce

The veteran defender is now a free agent and would be honoured in the team's opening Turkish premier league opener.

An official statement from the club reads: "Since the 2010-2011 season, Nigerian player Joseph Yobo successfully served Fenerbahce. The Football Federation of Turkey has brought about the restriction of foreign players as mandatory as of today so our paths (with Yobo) is separated. Fenerbahçe Sports Club Board of Directors on Sunday, 31 August, 2014 before a match will reward Joseph Yobo with a plaque of appreciation."

Yobo retired from international football after the Super Eagles of Nigeria after their Second Round World Cup 2014 defeat to France in Brazil.
