Super Eagles Head Coach, Stephen Okechukwu Keshi, has said that the Newcastle striker is healthy and fit for next month’s Mandela Challenge in South Africa, despite media reports to the contrary.
Stephen Okechukwu Keshi: “I have spoken to Shola and the guy is fit and healthy and will be available for the Mandela Challenge. He told me so himself, so any other news to the contrary I don’t believe”.
