‘’It is a big miss, somebody who has scored six goals in his last three games, an average of two per game will surely be a big miss,’’ Ibitoye said to Channels Television.

‘’He has overcome the lack of confidence that he had at the World Cup, now he is firing on all cylinders. He’s scoring a lot of goals for his club, he is in the mood, so we are going to miss him.

‘’It’s an opportunity for somebody else to step up. We have a lot of options in our attack – young, intelligent, talented players.

‘We believe they can rise to the occasion against South Africa and even in the friendly against Uganda.’’
