Nigerian defender, Kenneth Omeruo believes there will be no recurrence of the shoulder injury that has troubled him in recent months if he’s selected for Saturday’s 2014 Fifa World Cup playoff against Ethiopia.
The 20-year-old has not turned out for the Super Eagles since injuring his shoulder against Spain at the Fifa Confederations Cup in June.
He aggravated the problem in training with Chelsea in August and subsequently had keyhole surgery in London to repair the damage.
Omeruo has now told supersport.com that he is ready for action on Saturday but it remains to be seen if coach Stephen Keshi is prepared to throw him into the deep end against the Walia Ibex.
“I am ready to play if the coach picks me. I have been training with Chelsea and I have been playing matches with the youth team so there is nothing to worry about. I have recovered fully,” he said.
The former ADO Den Haag man then cautioned his teammates not to handle the game against the Ethiopians with kid gloves stressing that the Walia Ibex are a side that can spring a few surprises if not effectively checkmated.
“I played against them at the (2013 Africa) Nations Cup so I know how dangerous they are.
“They keep possession well and can score goals. We must not underrate them if we want to qualify for the World Cup,” he said.
Omeruo has been capped 14 times by Nigeria.
