Ikechukwu Uche is most likely to
again miss out on the World Cup after Super Eagles coach, Stephen Keshi said he
lacks discipline. The Villarreal striker has fired 12 goals thus far in the
Spanish La Liga, but Keshi has again overlooked him for next month’s crucial
World Cup warm-up against Mexico. Keshi has defended his decision by telling
the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) technical committee that the striker is
not disciplined. Keshi said ‘’Ikechukwu (Uche) is not disciplined and that was
why I did not call him up for the Mexico game,” The striker has already said he
will not be shocked if he does not make the final squad to Brazil, 2014 despite
his goals in the Spanish top flight. Uche missed out on the 2010 World Cup on
account of injury. He has been one of Nigeria’s most consistent goal scorers
before Emmanuel Emenike emerged on the scene. He was the country’s leading
scorer for the qualifying tournament for the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. But at
the competition proper in South Africa, he struggled to shine as Emenike used
the tournament to establish himself on the international scene.
