Shola Ameobi
Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi says injured Newcastle striker Shola Ameobi will be fit for a 2014 World Cup playoff in Ethiopia.
Ethiopia host Nigeria on October 13 in a first leg play-off for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Ameobi has been sidelined by a knock he picked up while on international duty last month with his club saying he will be sidelined for several weeks thus raising fears he may miss the match in Addis Ababa.
“Shola is fine. He will be ready for the game against Ethiopia. I spoke with him last week and he said he is good. In any case he is a very disciplined player who really wants to play for his country,” Keshi was quoted by MTNFootball.com as saying on Wednesday.
“So, my list remains intact, there would be no changes.”
Ameobi has won four caps for Nigeria and scored a goal since he made his long-awaited international debut against Venezuela last year in the United States.
