On his return to the national team for the first time since March, Coach Samson Siasia has given Osaze Odemwingie license to kill when Guinea come calling this weekend for Nations Cup qualifying match in Abuja.

Siasia welcomed Odemwingie back to the sqaud just before the team’s first training session, with a charge to pile misery on Guinea
“We would like to say welcome back. We have missed you in the team and we are all happy to see you,” Siasia told Odemwingie.

“We know how you always give everything when you play for your country, which is why Nigerians love you so much, and we know that you will do the same this weekend.

“This is a very important game for us, because we have to qualify for the Nations Cup. We need goals and we know you can deliver that for us, so we will be counting on you and the rest of the team.”
