Currently faced with the tough task to returning to the desired weight. You would think that he had five or six extra pounds? Well, I do not know, maybe because of the clothes,'' said Popov on radio.<br /><br />Emmanuel Emenike has not scored in the league since September 23rd.<br /><br /><i>Photo Credit: nigeriabestforum.com</i><br /><br /><br />
