Super Eagles’ coach Stephen Keshi has dropped Fenerbahce of Turkey striker, Emmanuel Emenike to the bench from his starting list for today’s African Nations Cup qualifier against the Red Devils of Congo at the UJ Esuene Stadium, Calabar.
The stocky striker was replaced by Uche Nwofor to lead the African Champions attack.
Emenike’s omission suggests that Keshi could be trying to keep him fresh for Wednesday’s clash against South Africa.
In midfield, Ramon Azeez has beat out competition from Nosa Igiebor and Joel Obi to join Ogenyi Onazi and Mikel Obi while Nnamdi Oduamadi completes a forward trio that also includes Ahmed Musa.
