Head coach of the Super Eagles, Sunday Oliseh is expected to drop Emmanuel Emenike from next month’s World Cup qualifier against Swaziland.
The striker, who is currently on loan at Al Ain in UAE, has failed to score for Nigeria in two years and has not impressed Oliseh in the four matches he has taken charge of.
A top source close to the team told AfricanFootball: “Oliseh is disappointed Emenike has not justified the confidence he has in him.
“He has been given his chance by the coach, who is now seriously considering Odion Ighalo to lead his attack against Swaziland next month.”
Oliseh will turn to Anthony Ujah or Watford’s Odion Ighalo in Emenike’s absence.
Nigeria will take on Swaziland for a place in the third round of the 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign between November 9 and 17.
