Warri Wolves Striker Onyekachi Okafor Replaces Crocked Brown Ideye

Ahead of the back - to - back friendlies against Uganda and South Africa in Uyo and Nelspruit respectively, the Super Eagles handlers have handed a late call - up to Warri Wolves striker Onyekachi Okafor.<br /><br />West Brom forward Brown Ideye will have to wait to play his first game for the national team in over a year after he pulled out of the squad due to a knee injury. <br /><br />The same ailment saw him miss The Baggies clash with Manchester City in the English Premier League this past weekend.<br /><br />&ldquo;We&rsquo;re hoping Brown will be OK. I hoped he&rsquo;d be fit on Saturday but he&rsquo;s still feeling it and I couldn&rsquo;t take the chance,&rdquo; said manager Tony Pulis.<br /><br />Brown Ideye is in a race to be fit for West Brom&rsquo;s next official fixture, which comes up on April 4 against Queens Park Rangers.<br /><br />Photo Credit : Twitter<br />
