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.

AFRICA CUP 2017 QUALIFIERS Adam Kwarasey

 

Adam Kwarasey is back in the Ghana squad for the Nations Cup qualifiers against Mozambique, after a self-imposed exile.

USA-based goalkeeper, Adam Kwarasey, is back in Ghana's national squad for their forthcoming 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Mozambique following a self-imposed exile.

28-year-old Kwarasey had been absent from the Black Stars since their participation at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.

But Swansea forward Andre Ayew is not included due to an ankle injury.

Ghana are top of Group H with a maximum six points from their opening two games.
