City striker Osaze Odemwingie and Almeria midfielder Ramon Azeez may
not see action in Saturday’s crucial World Cup Group F clash against
Bosnia-Herzegovina, africanfootball.com has learned.
Osaze brought some urgency and
creativity to the Super Eagles’ attack against Iran on Monday, but
Nigeria coach Stephen Keshi said the former Russia-based forward defied
his instructions even though he was playing an unfamiliar role.
Keshi is said to be disappointed with
Azeez’s performance against Iran and has lined up Belgium-based Michael
Uchebo to take his place.
Skipper Joseph Yobo is expected to keep
his place in the first team after Turkey-based defender Godfrey Oboabona
was ruled out of Saturday’s cracker as a result of a foot injury he
suffered against Iran.
Yobo told africanfootball.com
in Brazil that reaching a century of international caps would be an
added bonus for him as he was already fulfilled to be at his third World
Cup.
“I’m just happy that I made it here because towards the end of the season I got injured and it was difficult for me,” he said.
“Any other personal achievement will be great and I will enjoy it.”
