Nigeria’s Super Eagles have picked Everton striker Victor Anichebe ahead of Obafemi Martins as a direct replacement for injured Turkey-based striker Emmanuel Emenike for a forthcoming Nations Cup qualifier versus Ethiopia.
MTNFootball.com exclusively gathered that Birmingham City cup hero Martins was pencilled to replace Emenike before the team’s selectors finally settled for Anichebe.
“The choice was between Martins and Anichebe to replace Emenike, who is injured. In the end, Anichebe got the nod,” a top team source told MTNFootball.com
Anichebe, who featured for Siasia at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, has returned to action after a long-term injury.
