Awaziem Rubbishes Injury Fears Ahead Liberia Friendly

Super Eagles defender, Chidozie Awaziem has dismissed claims that he would not be fit for Tuesday’s international friendly against Liberia billed for the 35,000 –capacity Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex.

The FC Porto of Portugal player picked up a knock in Nigeria’s 3-0 victory in an AFCON qualifier against Seychelles on Saturday despite getting on the scorer’s sheet.

However a team source has informed Sportinglife.ng that Awaziem has been cleared by the medical team for the friendly. “”It was a slight knock and l can tell you that he will be in action on Tuesday evening,” said the source.

Awaziem netted Nigeria’s second goal as Nigeria recorded their first win in Group E before making way for Semi Ajayi in the 73rd minute.
