[Folami David]

Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi, has declared that he is close to full fitness following the injury that forced him to miss the FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil.
.
The midfielder copped the injury while playing for the national team in a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Namibia in Windhoek last month but returned to action just last week and he has featured in two pre-season games for his club SS Lazio.
.
The Rome-based team will meet Juventus in the Italian Super Cup and the former My People FC star says he and his teammates are looking forward to a great season beginning with the game with Juve.
.
"I'm working to get in shape in a few days' time; I'm at 95 percent okay for now. We are working very hard and well because the pre-season training will be useful for us in the future," he said.
.
"Against Spezia, I liked the team, we played very well - particularly in the first half and we created so many chances. We must do better than last year; we have to try to win every game. Firstly, in the upcoming Super Cup and from there on focus on winning the Scudetto; why not?"
.
Onazi is one of the players listed by Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi for the Mandela Challenge game against Bafana-Bafana of South Africa next month.

Ogenyi Onazi is a kind of player we need in tough teams. He has the denying and struggling spirit anytime anyday. I feel him for that
