With scan results inconclusive on the hamstring injury suffered by left back, Elderson Echiejile, coaches of the Super Eagles are still hopeful that he will feature in their plans for 2014 Fifa World Cup finals in Brazil.
Coach Keshi disclosed that he was not in a hurry to take a final decision on the player who picked up the injury during the friendly against Greece.
“There is no conclusion on Elderson yet. The team doctor has been working on him and a final decision will be made later today concerning his status by the head coach (Stephen Keshi),” said team media officer Ben Alaiya.
Keshi can still make a late replacement in the case of Echiejile being ruled out of the World Cup before their first game against Iran on June 16.
