Etebo disappointed to miss game against Germany

Nigeria’s top scorer at the 2016 Olympics in Rio, Oghenekaro Etebo, has expressed his sadness over his unavailability for Wednesday’s semi-final clash against Germany.
Etebo also missed the 2-0 win over Denmark, because of an injury he picked up against Colombia in the last group fixture. But he hopes to be fit for the gold medal match if the Dream Team VI makes it.

“It hurts the player to sit out without participating against a team like Germany. But the doctor has told him he won’t be fit for the Wednesday match. The player has told some of his colleagues it pains him to miss both the quarter-final and now the semi-final too,” a team official told AfricanFootball.com


“He said he would be in full prayers to support his team to achieve victory.

“Etebo is very sure that his guys will beat Germany in the semi-final.

“He is also hoping to get back to action in the final.”
