Have soccer balls, will play.

Heartland centre-back, Kingsley Udoh has been axed from his side Tokyu Ground Hotel camp, Elekohia in Port Harcourt.

Udoh was sent packing on Wednesday before the Cup holders' second game against Nasarawa United at the ongoing Federation Cup competition.

SuperSport.com learnt that Udoh refused to train with his teammates on flimsy excuses and was later seen idly roaming the street.

A Heartland camp source informed SuperSport.com that the former Nigerian junior international is in the habit of dodging training session.

"Kingsley Udoh was expelled from camp early Wednesday for refusing to train with his colleagues on reasons the coaching crew considered elementary.

"The coaches didn't find his behaviour funny as he had similarly refused to train with his teammates before their league game against Niger Tornadoes.
