Former Enugu Rangers point-man Chikeluba Ofoedu is hopeful he will make the starting line - up in Tuesday's big clash in the cup between 1461 Trabzon and Turkey powerhouse Galatasaray. <br /><br />For precautionary reasons, Ofoedu was left on the bench by coach Mustafa Akcay in last weekend's 2 - 1 win over Samsunspor. And he came off the bench to score a brace, which secured three points for 1461 Trabzon.<br /><br />''I am a regular player for 1461 Trabzon but that day(Saturday, ed) I was on the bench.The last match we played, an away match, I was substituted at half time because I felt pains in my two legs. I think that is why I did not start the game against Samsunspor .Maybe I will start against Gala but I am not the coach. It is he who decides,'' Ofoedu told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b> in a telephone conversation.<br /><br />Ofoedu confessed that the cup tie away to Galatasaray in Istanbul on Tuesday is a difficult game.<br /><br />He said: ''Galatasaray are a big team but it is a game, so we have to play and maybe get something out of it. But it is going to be hard for us.''<br /><br />Ofoedu has made three appearances in the cup, scoring once against Belediye Vanspor in October.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
