Ikechukwu Uche Eyes National Team Recall

Villarreal striker Ikechukwu Uche has targeted a return to the National Team, possibly in September when Nigeria hosts the Flames of Malawi in a World Cup qualifier.<br /><br />Since the Super Eagles triumph at the African Cup of Nations, the 29 - year - old has not been considered by manager Stephen Keshi.<br /><br />Despite experiencing a purple patch with the <i>Yellow Submarine,</i> for whom he netted 14 goals in 32 matches last term, he was overlooked when Keshi named his Confederations Cup roster.<br /><br /><i>Punchng.com</i> quoted the former Granada ace as saying: '' The most important thing for me is to play regularly for my club.<br /><br />''I&rsquo;m happy my colleagues (Eagles) are doing well and they will continue to have my support.&nbsp;&nbsp; <br /><br />''But I will work hard to return to the team.''<br /><br />It is not a secret that the Nigeria attack has struggled in recent matches, without the experience of Ikechukwu Kalu.<br /><br />Discounting the victory over part timers Tahiti, the Super Eagles have scored a paltry 6 goals in their last 6 matches.<br /><br />It is worthy of note that only two goals were recorded by attackers - Brown Ideye (Mexico) and Ahmed Musa (Kenya).<br /><br />Photo Credit: <cite>villarrealcf.es</cite><br /><br /><br />
