Former Super Eagles coach Samson Siasia says the return of Chelsea of England defender Kenneth Omeruo will boost the Coach Stephen Keshi- led team ahead of the November 16 FIFA World Cup final qualifier against the Walya Ibex of Ethiopia in Calabar.
.
Omeruo who has not been part of the Super Eagles since the Confederations Cup held in Brazil due to shoulder injury, is one of the players Coach Stephen Keshi listed for the final leg of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Ethiopia and Siasia believes that his return will be of great help to the African champions.
.
The Super Eagles had defeated the Ethiopians 2-1 in the first leg match played in Addis Ababa last month and will be gunning for another victory in the November 16 match to finally book their ticket to the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil.
.
"I think it is a good idea to recall the young man back to the team, we all know what he can do and I am sure that he will prove a point in the defence. He has been out for some months now due to injury and now that he is back, we all expect him to contribute his own quota to the World Cup qualifier," says the former Super Eagles handler.
.
"We should all pray for him and the entire team as well, it is a crucial match despite the fact that we won the first leg match in Addis Ababa, they still need to do better to beat the Ethiopians in the match.
.
Other defenders listed for the crucial home game are Elderson Echiejile (Sporting Braga, Portugal); Benjamin Francis (Heartland FC, Nigeria); Efe Ambrose (Celtic FC, Scotland); Solomon Kwambe (Sunshine Stars, Nigeria); Godfrey Oboabona (Rizespor FC, Turkey); Azubuike Egwuekwe (Warri Wolves, Nigeria) and James Okwuosa (Chippa United, South Africa).
