Obafemi Martins<\/p>\n

25 March 2011<\/p>\n

\n

Samson Siasia is just one more injury away from having virtually no fit strikers available for Sunday’s African Nations Cup qualifier against Ethiopia.<\/p>\n

Four of Siasia’s strike force are all but ruled out of the key encounter, three with injuries and the fourth, Victor Moses, a victim of an administrative lapse.<\/p>\n

Osaze Odemwingie, Obafemi Martins and Victor Anichebe failed to train with the rest of the squad on Thursday, with varying injuries and have been declared as doubtful.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Odemwingie is said to have a muscle tear, Martins an ankle problem and Anichebe is still carrying shin splints that have kept him out of Everton’s games so far.<\/p>\n

Moses is still hopeful of playing a part, although that possibility looks unlikely, as the NFF’s letter to FIFA requesting a switch in his nationality only left on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, Siasia had named a squad brimming with offensive talent, meaning that he still has the likes of Peter Utaka, Ike Uche, Obinna Nsofor and Fengor Ogude available.<\/p>\n
