AFCON 2015 Qualifiers: Amodu invites Ikechukwu Uche for Congo, South Africa matches


Interim handler of the Super Eagles, Shuaibu Amodu, has drawn up a 66-man list of players, that will face South Africa and Congo in Nigeria’s remaining two matches in the 2015 African Cup of Nations qualifiers.

A notable inclusion is in-form Villarreal of Spain striker Ikechukwu Uche, who was snubbed by Stephen Keshi since the 2013 AFCON tournament which Nigeria won.

Amodu also included some home-based players in the squad, as he tries to secure qualification for next year’s competition.

The Edo State born coach also revealed that he almost turned down the chance to return to the Eagles’ fold. According to him, he did not want Keshi to be sacked. He has however demanded that the technical department of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), give him all that is necessary for him to carry out his task.
