According to a report on The Nation, Emmanuel Emenike will be back to action for Al Ain against Al Jazirah in a UAE league match today, August 28.
This is good news for Nigeria coach Sunday Oliseh as he gave Emenike, an invite for the Super Eagles showdown against Tanzania in Dar es Salaam.
Emenike in training
Al Ain coach Zlako Dalic said Emenike, who had a muscle pain which kept him out of the club’s league opener, will see action on Friday.
Dalic said: “We will play Emenike in Friday’s game for 45 minutes because he did not participate in the team’s training for some days thus he has not attained the required level of readiness that will enable him play a full game, and after the game, he will be released to join his national team.”
Sunday Oliseh invited 18 overseas-based professionals for next month’s 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier cracker Tanzania in Dar es Salaam.
