IKECHUKWU UCHE IN GOALS HUNT AS VILLAREAL TAKES ON CORDOBA

Returnee Super Eagles striker,
Ikechukwu Uche would be looking to add
to his goalscoring tally when he leads
Villareal’s attacking line as they travel to
confront struggling Cordoba in a Spanish
La Liga tie.
Uche could not find the back of the net despite featuring for
71 minutes in Villareal’s 2-2 home draw against German
side, Borussia Monchengladbach in an UEFA Europa
League tie played Thursday. The Nigerian international is
expected to shift his focus on a Cordoba side who are
currently languishing at the bottom of the league table with a
paltry 7 points.
Villareal on their part are currently placed in the 8th
position on the log with 18 points and despite going on an
away tie, would be looking to annex the maximum points
against their hosts who are neck-deep in relegation mire.
Uche who recently stage a comeback into the national team
after being overlooked for long period currently has 3 goals
to his credit for Villareal. The skillful forward’s inclusion
could however, not salvage the Super Eagles from missing
out of the 2015 Nations Cup participation.
