Victor Valdes Ruled Out Of Nigeria Clash
According to <i>mundodeportivo.com</i>, Barcelona and Catalonia goalkeeper Victor Valdes has been ruled out of tonight's clash
against the Super Eagles of Nigeria after failing to recover from
injury.<br /><br />Nevertheless, coach Johan Cruyff has nine other Barcelona players in the squad including Pique, Puyol, Xavi, Busquets, Jordi Alba and Sergio Garcia to consider for selection. <br /><br />7 Espanyol players are also listed for the important clash which Eagles gaffer Stephen Keshi plans to use to fine-tune strategies for the African Cup of Nations.<br /><br />The last time Catalonia met an African side (Tunisia), the star-studded team failed to score as the game ended in a goalless draw. And that result is the only blemish in Cruyff's spell as coach. In the other games he was in charge, Catalonia defeated Argentina 4-2 and walloped Honduras 4-0.<br /><br />The Super Eagles could start the game with at least seven players from the domestic championship. <br /><br /><i>Photo Credit: Barcelona</i><br />
