Osaze, Etuhu makes starting line-up for Ghana

Contrary to the wide spread rumour that Nigeria winger Osaze Odenwegie is suspended for the epic quater-final nations cup match against Ghana, nigeriasports.com can exclusively report that the fair skin player is in the starting line-up.

The Russia based striker is starting the match in place of John Utaka just like Dickson Etuhu of Sunderland becomes the surprise inclusion in the Nigerian side.

"OSaze is not suspended. We don't know where the news came from but as far as we are concerned, he has only bagged a yellow card in the tournament", declares Peterside Idah, the team media cordinator.

IK Uche of Getafe in Spain becomes Yakubu Aiyegbeni's striking partner meaning Obafemi Martins returns to the bench while Seyi Olofinjana also makes a return from the one match suspension.

Eagles starting line-up: Ejide,Yobo, Shitu, Taiwo, Nwaneri, Olofinjana, Etuhu, Mikel, Osaze, Uche, Yakubu.

Reports Opatola Adewole, Accra, Ghana.
