Super Eagles Players Saturday Review: Who Is Hot And Who Is Not

A round-up of Super Eagles players that were in action on Saturday in the European Leagues ahead of next Friday&rsquo;s African Cup of Nations qualifying fixture against Egypt.<br /><br /><b>Odion Ighalo </b>played the full 90 minutes as Watford lost 2-1 to Stoke City at the Vic, dispelling the notion that he was not in tip-top condition to face the North Africans. He has not scored in the Premier League in his last seven games.<br /><br />Chelsea&rsquo;s loan agreement with West Ham meant <b>Victor Moses</b> was not in action against his parent club at Stamford Bridge. <br /><br />The winger is lacking match fitness having failed to feature in the last four games contested by the Hammers across all competitions. <b>Midfielder Obi Mikel </b>went the distance for the champions.<br /><br /><b>Alex Iwobi </b>shone like a million stars in Arsenal&rsquo;s 2-0 win against Everton, scoring his first senior goal for the Gunners.<br /><br /><b>Carl Ikeme </b>was in between the pipes for Wolves in their 1-1 draw with Burnley. Has posted only one shutout in his last five games, which came against Birmingham City.<br /><br />Mainz 05 defender <b>Leon Balogun</b> sat out his team&rsquo;s 1-1 draw with Werder Bremen due to a muscular injury. Has gone the distance in nine out of the last ten games played by Mainz in the Bundesliga and remains doubtful for the tie against Egypt.<br /><br /><b>Umar Aminu </b>scored Osmanlispor FK&rsquo;s second goal vs Genclerbirligi (3-1).&nbsp; He was in action for 90 minutes. <br /><br />The striker has started 17 out of the last 18 matches played by his team in the Super Lig, missing the game against Sivasspor due to accumulated bookings.<br /><br />In Scotland, <b>Efe Ambrose</b> did not feature for Celtic in their 1-0 away win against Kilmarnock. The central defender has only one minute of game time in the last seven rounds in the Scottish Premiership.<br /><br /><b>Godfrey Oboabona</b> was suspended for Rizespor&rsquo;s league game with Akhisar, otherwise he is one of the first names on the team sheet.<br /><br />CSKA Moscow golden boy <b>Ahmed Musa</b> proved there is nothing to worry about regarding his fitness, notching a brace for the Muscovites in their 2-0 win against Kuban. The ex Kano Pillars star has scored 4 goals in his last 4 games in all competitions.<br /><br />Teammate <b>Aaron Samuel </b>has been largely inactive since the conclusion of the 2015 Chinese Super League . Has a paltry 29 minutes of game time in the last five months in all competitions.<b><br /><br />Ifeanyi Emmanuel</b><br /><br /><br />Photo Credit : chelseafc.com<br />&nbsp;<br />
