According to the official website of Spartak Moscow, Emmanuel Emenike has been named in the 18- man squad which traveled to Nizhny Novgorod for the opening match of the second stanza in the Russian Premier League.

Emenike has been missing from the lineup of The Red and White for the past two matches due to a back complaint.

The Nigeria international, who was omitted from the Super Eagles squad which defeated Venezuela on Thursday, is now in good physical condition and expected to get some minutes against Volga.

With 4 goals in 13 matches, Emenike is Spartak's second highest goalscorer in Russia's topflight.
