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. <br /><br />The Monaco fullback was replaced four minutes before the end of the first half against Greece after damaging his muscle.<br /><br />“He is going for training now and is with us. We did not train at all yesterday because we were on the road. <br /><br />“The medics are still working on him. In the next three hours, I will know the extent of his injury, ” a team official told <b>allnigeriasoccer.com</b>.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
