Nigeria defender Keneth Omeruo is available for selection for the final 2015 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying match against South Africa in Uyo on Wednesday.
The on-loan Middleborough FC centre back did not feature in Saturday’s crucial victory against Congo in Pointe Noire because of a groin problem, but has now began training.
Meanwhile, Godfrey Obaobona will be suspended for the showdown between Nigeria and the Bafana Bafana after picking up his second yellow card of the campaign in the 2-0 win in Congo.
Obaobona had earlier been booked against South Africa in Cape Town.

Finally, Hope Akpan will be sidelined from playing at the magnificent Akwa Ibom International Stadium with a dislocated shoulder.
The Reading midfielder landed badly after challenging for an aerial ball during Saturday’s victory.
Akpan will not be fit in time for the faceoff with South Africa at his hometown stadium, but the good news is that his recovery is expected to be sooner than earlier feared, as X-Rays has showed he only dislocated his shoulder rather than fracture.
