Emenike’s much-awaited Eagles debut in February against Sierra Leone was short lived when he was pulled off after less than half an hour following a shin injury. Officials have now revealed that coach Samson Siasia plans to play the big Karabukspor striker with in-form Osaze Odemwingie against two-time world champions Argentina on June 1 in Abuja.
Emenike suffered a rib injury recently but he is expected to be fit in time for the top Eagles games next month. Siasia is equally mulling a strike force of Osaze and Newcastle star Shola Ameobi.
“Siasia is working on his attack for the match against Argentina. His two options are either Osaze and Emenike or Osaze and Ameobi. The most productive of these two options will then start against Ethiopia in Addis Ababa,” a top team source told MTNFootball.com.
“He also wants to see how Mikel Obi plays alongside Victor Moses in the midfield, besides the preferred combination of Mikel and Joel Obi. “But as the nationality switch of both Ameobi and Moses has yet to come through, Siasia has been pushing for the two players to be available for the Argentina friendly.
It will more or less be the same team that will face Ethiopia a few days later.” Deputy general secretary (technical) of the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF), Emmanuel Ikpeme, told MTNFootball. com that everything was being done to ensure Ameobi and Moses feature against Argentina.
