Published: April 22, 2014
This season, Nigeria international Anthony Ujah has been involved in all the 31 matches contested by 2 Bundesliga champions Cologne.
But the 23 - year - old striker has insisted that he is not burnt out and is ready to play for the Super Eagles at the Brazil 2014 World Cup, with Stephen Keshi expected to name his provisional squad list any moment from now.
“First of all, I have to prove I deserve a place in this team. I believe the issue of fatigue is not a problem for me because knowing what it means to play in a big tournament like the World Cup gives you a new energy,” Ujah said to allnigeriasoccer.com.
He continued :“There are players who have played close to 60 games playing in the League, Champions League and Cup games and will play in the World Cup.”
Anthony Ujah last featured for the African champions at the Fifa Confederations Cup held last summer.
