Kenneth Omeruo In Contention To Play Against South Africa

Chelsea loanee Kenneth Omeruo is in contention to be named in the starting lineup for Wednesday evening&rsquo;s clash between the Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana in Uyo, south - eastern Nigeria. <br /><br />The central defender , 21, has recovered from a minor complaint that made him sit out last weekend&rsquo;s clash away to Congo.<br /><br />With defensive partner Godfrey Oboabona ruled out of the tie due to suspension, Omeruo&rsquo;s return to full fitness will be sweet music to the ears of Super Eagles gaffer Stephen Keshi, whose options in that position are limited.<br /><br />Oboabona was shown his second yellow card of the qualifying campaign against the Red Devils, meaning he has been automatically banned for the last Group A fixture.<br /><br />Also, Reading midfielder Hope Akpan will not be on parade at the Akwa Ibom International Stadium after dislocating his shoulder on Saturday.<br />
