Crotone striker, Simeon ‘Simy’ Nwankwo
will arrive the Super Eagles camp in Uyo on Tuesday ahead of Nigeria’s
international friendly match against DR Congo in Port Harcourt on May
28, Completesportsnigeria.com reports.
It is however uncertain if the 6ft 6”
striker, also known as ‘The Beast’, will take part in the game due to
the FIFA rule which states that every player listed in the provisional
World Cup squad must be granted ten days off after the hectic European
season.
Nwankwo has revealed that making the
final 23 man squad for the World Cup in Russia will cap his impressive
season in the Italian Serie A for him.
“I should be in camp on Tuesday night,”
Simy Nwankwo told CSN through an intermidiary in Italy on Friday. “I’m
ready to stake a claim and I hope I make it to Russia because it will
mark a new dawn in my career.”
Nwankwo has scored seven goals in the
Italian Serie A for Crotone who need a win in their final league game
against Napoli to avoid relegation. Crotone will also hope S.P.A.L 2013
don’t get a result against Sampdoria today.
Crotone currently occupy 18th position
in the Italian Serie A table with 35 points from 37 games with an
inferior goal difference of -3 to S.P.A.L 2013.
