...
Nigeria Super Eagles striker & star of the African Nations cup Emmanuel Emenike will miss June’s 2014 World Cup qualifiers and the Fifa Confederations Cup due to a  knee injury.
He picked up the injury on Sunday playing for his club Spartak Moscow, on his return from a long-term hamstring layoff, during a Russian Premier League match. He will miss action for about 2 months as he tries to recover.
It’s a terrible setback for me because I was very happy to be back playing again on Sunday,” he told BBC Sport.
I know injury is part of football but sometimes you struggle to understand why it happens so soon again after recovering. Our team doctor is confident I will be back playing again after two months, hopefully I can return stronger and better.”
Emenike had also picked up an injury during the African Nations Cup that saw him miss the final match against Burkina Faso.
This means he will not be available for Nigeria when they travel to play Kenya on the 5th June, against Namibia a week later and the Confederations Cup in Brazil.
Reports in the Nigerian media suggest that Everton striker Victor Anichebe will be handed a late recall by Keshi, as a replacement for Emenike.

Dr Clement Chup, the Chairman, University of Abuja branch of ASUU, who disclose this at a press conference, said Federal Government’s delay in implementing the white paper was not in the interest of the university. He said the union’s resolution to embark on a two-week warning strike followed government’s failure to listen to the university’s longstanding complaints over governancecrisis at institution. According to him, the specific element of the crisisis the continuing delay in the implementation of the recommendations of the report of the 2012 Presidential Visitation Panel. Chup said the implementation of the report would no doubt commence the needed cleansing and rebuilding that would bring lasting solution to the crisis in the university. “In view of the deliberate delay of Government to commence implementation of the Dr T. C. Osanakpo Report, eight months after submission, ASUU, University of Abuja chapter, has no option but to embarkon a two-week warning strike. “The Special Visitation Panel has carefully and painfully after eight weeks of work come up with a report that left no one in doubt of the near collapse of the system. “We understand that a staggering amount of almost N400million of tax payers’ money was expended on the panel and that the panel submitted its report to government on Sept. 21, 2012,” he said. In his reaction, Dr Mohammed Damagum, the Chairman, ASUU Integrity Group, University of Abuja, condemned the warning strike, saying members of his group should ignore the action. He said the call for the strikewas unscrupulous, unpatriotic, maliciously calculated and ill-conceived to destabilise the hard-earned peace in the university. The group chairman called for support for the newly constituted university governing council, adding that the strike was not in the interest on the university. (NAN)
