Dream Team VI coach, Samson Siasia, will have to do without FC
Midtjylland loanee Paul Onuachu in the make or mar All Africa Games
qualifier against Zambia in Lusaka next weekend.
The Sporting Director of Vejle BK, Steen Thychosen, has disclosed that
the beanpole forward is battling to overcome a toe injury, and will not
travel to Abuja to join his international colleagues.
''Paul has had some problems with his toe for some time, so we don' t
think it's a good idea that he joins the national team this time, ''
Steen Thychosen said to SL10.ng.
''He is not ready to participate in the match against Zambia.
''Paul himself has agreed on the decision, that he has to stay in Denmark.''
Paul Onuachu would have missed two games in the Danish First Division
if Vejle BK had sanctioned his trip to Africa for the international
game, which falls outside the Fifa calender for national teams
get-togethers .
Vejle BK's sporting director added : ''If he had to go, he was to leave
already today, and therefore he would miss two matches in the Danish
First Division against FC Roskilde and FC Fredericia.
''He is an important player for our squad, and we' re happy that he stays with us for the next matches, if he's able to play.''
The FC Ebedei product came off the bench for the last 15 minutes of the league game against Skive on Thursday afternoon.
