Ethiopia 's hopes are rested on striker Salahdin Said for Tuesday's important Africa Cup of Nations game against Nigeria.
The 24 year-old Wadi Degla forward has been their talisman upfront for the past two years. Newly signed by Lierse of Belgium, Salahdin was the player who fired the Walyas Antelopes to a 2-2 draw against Nigeria in Addis Ababa during the qualifying process for the 2012 Afcon which the Super Eagles eventually failed to qualify for.
