Peter Olayinka (Left)

Gent striker Peter Olayinka has said he is disappointed to miss the Nigeria U23 friendly against Brazil due to injury.


The former Skenderbeau of Albania striker said he was delighted and thanked coach Samson Siasia for the opportunity, while believing he will get another chance with the Nigeria Olympic team.


"I am very sad that I will miss the friendly match against Brazil,” said Olayinka, whose place on the squad has been taken by Anderlecht striker Imoh Ezekiel.


"I thank coach Siasia for the chance and I am very confident and I know there's still chance for me to prove myself in his team."


Olayinka also disclosed he has commenced training with Belgian champions Gent.


"I have started training with the rest of squad," he said.


Rio Olympics hosts Brazil will take on their Nigeria counterparts in a warm-up on March 24.

30 million is HUGE!!! Great potential, he's got. Porto believes so much in him. Really happy for him.

Let's see the excuses Siasia's fans will give the next time his name is omitted from the List.

Football is not about past exploits.

Onazi is a good player but he has hardly played in the last few weeks. What is his match fitness like? A player who is playing regularly would obviously have better match fitness. Ndidi played well in his debut, he can certainly hold his own.

I am not saying, don't invite Onazi but players who are in form and playing regularly should get reward for it.

In Nigeria, we don't reward good form. We will rather take a Reuben Gabriel who had not played regularly for years to the world cup at the expense of more regular players because of past exploits.

What makes u feel Onazi's match fitness is in doubt. A player with great abilities Will always display great abilities. Game time is good bt nt every thing. Can u tell me that in the game Egypt vs Nigeria u will field Ndidi over Onazi? U cannot over-look d abilities and experience Onazi has gathered over d years. For DMF position we need such a big player for such a big game.

As I said before, Onazi should nt b d person u are questioning his inclusion it should b Azubuike Okechukwu.

On that Siasia's list d only absent players that i raised questions abt were Leon Balogun and d choice of Awuzie over Madu. Balogun has been included so I am ok with d list cos I know Echiejile can do d job in d absence of Madu.

Ndidi should keep doing it at club level. His time is coming.Bt I hope Azubuike again will nt b selected ahead of him in d Olympic team?

The former Enyimba star has more defensive responsibilities at theJuventus of the Arabsbut has been able to carve out scoring opportunities for himself by driving forward.


Sokarri put CS Sfaxien 2-0 up three minutes out of intermission, sandwiched in between goals fromEzechiel Ndouasel and Ali Maaloul.


“We are playing a 4-3-3 formation and I am playing from the left midfield,” said Kingsley Sokari to allnigeriasoccer.com.

“Our target is to win the league and play in the Champions League next season.”

Kelechi Iheanacho Happy Manchester City Are Back On Track
[/size]

Kelechi Iheanacho was delighted with Manchester City’s 4-0 rout of Aston Villa in the Premier League on Saturday.


The Citizens had lost three games in a row in the top-flight prior to yesterday’s game against the relegation strugglers and would have left the fourth Champions League spot if they had not defeated Villa at the Etihad.


Three minutes after Iheanacho joined the fray, he was brought down in the box but Sergio Aguero uncharacteristically failed to convert the resultant spot kick.


“Great win today getting back on track #ComeOnCity,” Iheanacho posted on Twitter last night.


The 19-year-old Iheanacho has racked up 400 minutes of game time in the Premier League and has netted three times.

Kayode Olanrewaju Is On Best Scoring Run Since Joining Austria Vienna
[/size]

Kayode Olanrewaju extended his goalscoring streak to three games in the Bundesliga after finding the net in Austria Vienna’s 3-1 win against Ried on Saturday.


The 22-year-old was substituted on immediately after the intermission and registered his name on the scoresheet for the 11th time in the ongoing season in the fourth minute of stoppage time.


Olanrewaju is on his best scoring run since his arrival at Austria Vienna from Maccabi Netanya in summer of 2015.


He found the net against leaders Salzburg on February 28, then hit target against Admira three days later before scoring against Ried.


He is third highest goalscorer in the top-flight, with only two goals separating him from teammate Gorgon but needs six more goals presently to catch up with the leader Soriano .

Kayode elated to be super sub in Austria
[/size]

Kayode (right)

Ex-Nigeria youth international Olanrewaju Kayode has said he is delighted to score the goal that sealed a 3-1 victory for Austria Wien against Reid.


Austria Wien are third on the league table with 45 points in 26 games, five points adrift of leaders Salzburg.


Kayode, an 85th minute substitute for Ognjen Vukojevic, struck the third goal in the concluding minutes of the game.


He has now scored 11 goals in the Austrian Bundesliga.


"I feel so great, it was really awesome to score the winner after few minutes on the pitch,” Kayode said.


"It was not an easy game so when I was called upon, I only went on to the pitch having one thing on my mind, which was to change the game and score, and that’s exactly what happened."

ALHAJI GERO SCORES BRACE IN SWEDEN
[/size]

Former Nigeria U-20 player Alhaji Gero scored twice to help his Swedish side Oestersunds FK beat AFC United 3-0 in a Sweden cup game.


Gero’s brace came in a space of two minutes in the 30th and 32nd minute of the game before Saman Ghoddos scored the third and final goal for Oestersunds.


22 year old Gero joined the team this year from Viborg of Denmark where he spent a one and half year making 41 appearances with 9 goals.


The former Enugu Rangers forward has 10 goals since moving to Europe in 2013 where he has so far played for three teams with varying degree of success.


His best scoring season came in the 2014 season where he scored 8 times from 26 games for Oster before his transfer to Viborg.

HENTY EZEKIEL LOKOMOTIVE MOSCOW DEBUT ENDS IN DEFEAT
[/size]

Ex AC Milan youth teamer Henty Ezekiel who made a big money move to Lokomotiv Moscow of Russia during the January transfer window had a debut to forget.


Spotting jersey number 45, the 22 year old came in as a substitute in the 58th minute with his team 2-1 down despite taking an early lead in the game failed to restore parity for his team.


Ezekiel who scored 8 times for Olympija Ljuglbana Olimpija Ljubljana of Slovenia before his move to Russia is reportedly the highest sale by a Slovenia team in the history of the country’s league.


At Lokomotive Moscow he will be hoping to fare better than the other two Nigerians who had stints with the team, namely Peter Osaze Odemwingie who was fairly more successful than Obinna Nsofor who later went there.


Both players didn’t achieve more and they both controversially left the team after a season and a half.
