IHEANACHO TO LINE UP AGAINST EGYPT

Manchester City rising star, Kelechi Iheanacho could make his second appearance for the Super Eagles when Nigeria play Egypt March 25 in Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Coach Sunday Oliseh stated that the player’s recent form with Manchester City may have earned him a starting placing his team that will face the Pharaohs in the must win AFCON tie. “I have not sent out my list of invited players yet. But with the kind of goal he came on to score (for Manchester City against Tottenham) recently I am looking very much at him. “In fact I hope to move up to Manchester, but I am just waiting on some little things to be sorted out then we will have that done,” Oliseh said. Iheanacho has scored nine goals, including a hat-trick against Aston Villa in the FA Cup, for Manchester City this season.
