Former Nigeria U17 invitee Ovie Ejaria has been tipped to return from injury for Reading when they tackle Barnsley in the EFL Championship on Wednesday, December 11. The Royals boss Mark Bowen is optimistic that Ejaria is in contention to return to the starting line-up for tonight's clash at Oakwell, having sat out the last two matches against Wigan Athletic and Birmingham City due to illness and a groin injury. ''I certainly hope so. On Friday, he had an issue with his groin, and he said it was a little better this [Saturday] morning but still really feeling it,'' Bowen told the Reading Chronicle, when asked about the availability of Ejaria. ''If it’s an inflammation issue it should settle down quickly with medication.'' Ejaria has been one of the standout performers for Reading since returning to the club in the summer transfer window, contributing to 5 goals (3 goals, 2 assists) in 15 league appearances. In their last Championship game, Reading lost 3-2 to Birmingham City without Ejaria in the line-up. |

SC Heerenveen winger Chidera Ejike is patiently waiting to hear from manager Gernot Rohr regarding a call-up to the Super Eagles. The former Valerenga Fotball star is Heerenveen's second top scorer in the Dutch Eredivisie this season with 6 goals in 15 matches and continues to earn rave reviews for his dribbling skills. He is battling the likes of Samuel Chukwueze, Ahmed Musa, Samuel Kalu, Moses Simon, Alex Iwobi, Emmanuel Dennis and Henry Onyekuru for a roster spot. ''The thing is all these players you mentioned are good players and talents and I feel everybody has his style of play,'' Ejike said. ''Your style is always going to speak for you and I believe the coach knows best when I get the call-up.'' Ejike is a right-footed player capable of playing on both flanks as well as being deployed as an attacking midfielder. He added : ''The coach knows where he is going to fit me in. At the moment it is not something I am rushing for, I'm going to be patient and wait for my time but I know if I'm given the chance by God's grace, I'm going to take the chance, I'm just looking forward to that time and waiting until it comes.'' Ejike was invited to Nigeria's U23 squad before the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt but was not released to the Nigeria Football Federation by SC Heerenveen because the tournament was outside the FIFA window for national team activities. 1 Like |

Arsenal's teenage Nigerian midfielder James Olayinka was one of club's U-23 stars that trained with the senior team in preparation for their UEFA Europa League game with Standard Liege on Thursday, allnigeriasoccer.com reports. The Gunners are in a midst of an injury crisis and will be missing a host of their regulars for the trip to the Stade Maurice Dufrasne, and interim manager Freddie Ljungberg has been forced to include some youth players in today's training session at London Colney. Olayinka warmed up with senior players Matteo Guendouzi and David Luiz, alongside his mates in the academy the likes of Tyreece John-Jules, Robbie Burton and Zech Medley. This is not the first time Ljungberg has included the 19-year-old central midfielder in the senior workout, as he was among the youth players that trained with the first team before a league match against Brighton & Hove this month. Meanwhile, Bukayo Saka is set to add to his three Europa league appearances for the club this season after training with the senior team as usual. While Olayinka is yet to debut for the senior team, Saka was not in the match day squad when Arsenal beat Standard Liege 4-0 in the tournament's game week two. |

1996 Olympic Games gold medalist Garba Lawal has had his say on Gernot Rohr's contract situation, and has called on the Nigeria Football Federation to make their stand known on the future of the German football tactician. The former Nigeria international made a cryptic statement which suggested that Rohr's time with the Super Eagles was up. ''I believe NFF employed him so they are the one to decide whether to keep Rohr or not, so they will call for a meeting within themselves or the President will decide to call his executive members,'' Lawal said. ''But it all depends on the NFF what they want. We don't know what they want at this moment''. When put on the spot and prodded further on whether Rohr should be handed a new contract, Garba said : ''I can't speak for NFF. Before he came in Austin Eguavoen also coached Nigeria, late Keshi, Dan Amokachi, so Rohr is not the only one. ''People come, win trophies and they go, so he is not the only one.'' Employed in August 2016, Rohr's contract with the Nigerian Federation runs until June 2020 |

Olulong: First of all don't be presumption led without any substance. Why are players top world class players because they are consistent on top of the game from season to season. Essentially without any drop in quality, that's extremely difficult. That's why Ronaldo, Suarez, Mane, Messi, Kane Lukaku, Van Dyke, Ramos, etc are world class players. So if they get injured we don't assume they have lost form. Go back and look at Keita's pedigree and consistency at such a young age. Go back and look at Salif consistency over the last few seasons in the Bundesliga .He has not lost ability after 5 games, just not played because of injury that's a ludicrous an ill-judged deduction you are making about him. Why to score points, l have no idea. Then look at the nonsensical proposition you make with zero substance. That l am biased you clearly jumped on the prejudiced band wagon without even thinking. When looking at top goal scorer that doesn't include everyone who has scored a goal. My benchmark is usually the top 10 goal scorers. There are about twenty places before you get to players with 5 goals where Maja is indeed there are over 11 players with a 5 goals tally. It's simply not outstanding. That's your opinion of bias, if you have courage you should apologise. If anything I could be accused of bias against Senegal. Do you know that there are over 50 players showing allegiance to Senegal in the French league one alone. I doubt if there is any team in French league one without a Senegalese origin player. Because the lower you go in the goal charts the more Senegalese players you are likely to see. I could have talked about 20 year old Boubacar Kamara the claimed next Thiago. That may likely play for Senegal wanted by a plethora of EPL club to show the strength in depth that Senegal have but l didn't. Before I forget Ismaila Sarr is a winger and his goals tally is not expected to be on the same as a striker. Nonetheless, you didn't do your homework. If you did you would have known he was injured from Afcon. He has been struggling to get fit for the intensity and rigours of the EPL. He has just recently played 3 games in the EPL and scored one goal as well as has had a big impact for Watford in just three games. But he is far from being IN-FORM certainly not from three games. Finally, I digress somewhat, what I find shocking is there may be more Senegalese players in the EPL than Nigerian. That's simply not right considering our colonial past with England. You and many others here don't understand the meaning as elementary as it is of biased. 1 Like |

Provoker: Go back and look at core subject which country has the most IN-FORM players which in itself alludes to top quality outstanding consistent performing players. Then the bench mark from which the context of this discourse emanates from which s the top 5 leagues in Europe. As good as Ajayi is he is in the Championship most probable he will be in the EPL next season. Until then he is not in the equation. If we are to look at French league two then we are literally talking 75 Senegalese players at least, they are too many to count. That's the context. |
