Exclusive : Elderson Echiejile Racing Against The Clock To Be Fit For United States Friendly
Published: June 05, 2014
26 - year - old Elderson Echiejile is racing against the clock to be for the Super Eagles last tune - up against United States at EverBank Field (Jacksonville, Florida) this coming Saturday.
The Monaco fullback was replaced four minutes before the end of the first half against Greece after damaging his muscle.
“He is going for training now and is with us. We did not train at all yesterday because we were on the road.
“The medics are still working on him. In the next three hours, I will know the extent of his injury, ” a team official told allnigeriasoccer.com.
Elderson Echiejile could be lacking match fitness, having played just 5 matches in the French League for Monaco following his transfer from Sporting Braga in the January transfer window.
Logically, manager Stephen Keshi may field Juwon Oshaniwa in the exhibition game with United States or if he does not want to take a risk, that is the possibility of having two injured left backs, may start Efe Ambrose in that position just as he did against Greece.
