Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni and Obafemi Martins of Wolfsburg have NOT been picked by Nigeria for next month's crunch World Cup qualifier against Tunisia in Abuja.
Nigeria coach, Shuaibu Amodu, who announced Friday a 21-man squad for the Group Two qualifier on September 6, said he left out both strikers because they are yet to attain full match fitness.
Martins was once met by hundreds of unhappy fans when he arrived in Lagos following a bout of 'AWOL sickness' when he missed vital African Cup qualifiers.
