stars in Europe - Uche not angry at Nigeria World Cup snub

The Villarreal striker was not picked by Keshi, despite scoring 12 goals in the Spanish top flight this season. Uche has not played for his country since they won the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa last year. The 30-year-old insists, however, that he holds no grudges against Keshi. "Of course as a professional footballer you'd love to represent your country, but I have never had bad words towards the national coach," Uche is widely regarded as one of Nigeria's most reliable strikers at international level and is one of his nation's all-time top scorers, with 18 goals in 45 appearances, behind Rashidi Yekini, Segun Odegbami and Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

GROUP D - FIXTURES
20 Jan : vs Cameroon in Malabo
24 Jan: vs Ivory Coast in Malabo
28 Jan: vs Guinea in Mongomo


The 27-year-old, on loan to French side Metz from West Ham United, has not played for the Eagles in over a year.

Wolverhampton Wanderers' top scorer Bakary Sako, who has scored seven goals this season, has also been called up.

He will miss up to five Championship games for Wolves as they chase promotion to the Premier League.

Bordeaux midfielder Abdou Traore is another who has earned a return to the squad after more than a year out of the national team.

N'Tji Michel Samake from local side Duguwolofila Mali also makes the cut despite not appearing on the preliminary list of 35 players announced by Kasperczak last week.

But Wolves player Nouha Dicko and AC Ajaccio goalkeeper Oumar Sissoko have been overlooked.

The team will be captained by 34-year-old Roma midfielder Seydou Keita, who will be playing at his seventh Nations Cup finals.

Otherwise coach Henryk Kasperczak provided few other surprises in his squad, with the Yatabare brothers Mustapha and Sambou selected as expected.

Mali, who have finished third at the last two continental finals, have been drawn in a difficult Group D along with Ivory Coast, Cameroon and Guinea in the 17 January to 8 February tournament.
