Super Eagles Stars Continue To Play Decisive Roles For Clubs Pre-Poland As Onazi Scores
Published: March 18, 2018
Super Eagles coach Gernot Rohr would be delighted with the form of a majority of the players he has summoned for the international friendlies against Poland and Serbia this month.
Odion Ighalo opened his account for the season in Changchun Yatai's 1-1 draw with Beijing Renhe and his captain in the national team Obi Mikel was brilliant in the Tianjin derby, setting up two goals scored by Frank Acheampong.
Kelechi Iheanacho, Wilfred Ndidi and Victor Moses will start for their respective teams in this evening's Emirates FA Cup fixture between Leicester City and Chelsea at the King Power Stadium.
Super Eagles assistant captain Eddy Onazi netted his first goal in six months to help Trabzonspor thrash Azubuike Okechukwu's Yeni Malatyaspor 4-1 in the Turkish Super Lig on Sunday afternoon.
Prior to the game at Medical Park Stadyumu, Onazi had not found the net in the league since September 10, 2017 when he scored against Genclerbirligi.
If the defensive stats are anything to go by, the former Lazio ace was Trabzonspor's top player against Yeni Malatyaspor, with a combined eight clearances, tackles and interceptions.
On the flip side, the questionable trio Oghenekaro Etebo, Joel Obi and Tyronne Ebuehi did not play for Las Palmas, Torino and ADO Den Haag respectively this weekend and will have to undergo fitness tests if they report for international duty.
