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.

AFRICAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2015 - CONGO DR - TP Mazembe's Ivorian keeper Gbohouo

TP MAZEMBE AFRICAN CHAMPIONS LEAGUE 2015 Sylvain Gbohouo

 

Ivory Coast and TP Mazembe goalkeeper Sylvain Gbohouo has flown to Qatar for treatment on his knee injury.

Gbohouo was the Elephants first choice goalkeeper at January's African Cup of Nations finals in Equatorial Guinea, which his side won.

He missed the final against Ghana after sustaining a meniscus tear in his knee during the semi-final against DR Congo.

Gbohouo is yet to make his debut for four-time African champions Mazembe, who he joined after the Nations Cup.

Mazembe president Moise Katumbi said that Gbohouo was released to go for the operation under the auspices of the Ivory Coast football federation.

"He left last week and he hasn't returned," Katumbi confirmed to BBC Sport.

"It's not a very serious injury but it was a question of solving a problem once and for all.

"He should be back in normal training at the most three weeks from now."

Katumbi, whose side play South Africa's Mamelodi this weekend in the first round of the African Champions League, said Mazembe will rely on experienced veteran goalkeeper Robert Kidiaba while Gbohouo recovers.

Ivory Coast coach Herve Renard will be hoping that Gbohouo recovers in time for two friendlies in March, especially following the retirement of former first-choice keeper Boubacar Barry last week.

The Elephants are set to host Equatorial Guinea on 26 March and then Bolivia three days later.

The matches replace initial plans by the Ivory Coast FA to tour in Oman on the international dates.
