Nigeria Under Pressure To Bring Back Ike Uche

After scoring a the winning goal in Zaragoza’s 2-1 victory over Atletico Bilbao in midweek, the coaching crew of the Super Eagles are being urged to bring back Ike Uche into the team after his recovery from a seven month injury.

Uche last played for Nigeria in a World Cup qualifier in Abuja where he scored in the 3-0 defeat of Kenya in 2009. He has been out of competitive football since last year when his return to the pitch was short-lived.

With his performance on Wednesday, many are now calling on Samson Siasia to bring back the striker for the AFCON qualifier against Ethiopia.

However, Siasia has said that he will not rush the player back into the national side but will stick to the team that defeated Sierra Leone 2-1 in a friendly match in February.
