Osaze pleased with Eagles recall

The Potters striker has expressed his excitement making
the 30-man provisional squad to the 2014 Fifa World
Cup Brazil

The former Cardiff City player had been in international
wilderness for over two years following his spat with
coach Stephen Keshi after his exclusion from the squad
to the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa.
According to him, the love from fans meant more to him
while stating his delight at the recall.
"This is to thank all my Naija fans for the support. Even
before the recall I dey feel the love. That means more
than the recall to me," Odemwingie tweeted.
The 32-year old who was on target for Stoke as they
spanked Fulham 4-1 on Saturday afternoon at the
Britannia Stadium also joked about Channel TV’s
portrayal of his recall.
"Thanks for the congratulations. The return of the
prodigal son Channels TV said? Anyhow una call am I
am pleased to be back," he said.
He boasts of nine goals in 55 appearances for the senior
national team since making his debut in the Super
Eagles’ 3-0 defeat of Kenya on May 4, 2002.
