\u2026 \u00a0Nsofor, Kalu Uche too<\/strong><\/p>\n

West Bromwich Albion striker, Osaze Odemwingie, is set for a sensational Super Eagles return only weeks after it seemed he will never play for Nigeria again.<\/p>\n

MTNFootbal.com gathered that Osaze, who has been at the wars with his English Premier League club, will be handed a lifeline by the Super Eagles handlers after a recent tirade by the player against Stephen Keshi and the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cOsaze will return to the Eagles,\u201d a top official specially disclosed to MTNFootball.com.<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides the fact that he deserves to be in the team, it would also be a big boost for Osaze after his troubles with WBA.\u201d<\/p>\n

The outspoken Osaze resorted to social network platform Twitter to vent his frustrations after he was sensationally axed from the Eagles squad to last month\u2019s Africa Cup of Nations.<\/p>\n

The striker accused Keshi of not being professional in the manner he was dropped from the national team, while he also took a dig at skipper Joseph Yobo, saying the Super Eagles had lacked a true leader.<\/p>\n

He also suggested he was through with the national team.<\/p>\n

Keshi has since said Osaze was dropped because of \u201ccharacter problems\u201d which would have disrupted team spirit at the AFCON.<\/p>\n

\u2018Big Boss\u2019 has already sent out words of encouragement to Osaze following his travails at the EPL side.<\/p>\n

The former Lille and Lokomotiv Moscow star last featured for Nigeria in a 2013 Nations Cup qualifier in Rwanda in February 2012.<\/p>\n

Other top stars lined up for a return to the team are Obinna Nsofor and Kalu Uche.<\/p>\n

Uche, for one, has been on fire in Turkey with his Istanbul outfit Kasimpasa, where he has so far netted 15 goals in the league.<\/p>\n

He last played for Nigeria in a November 2011 friendly against Zambia in Kaduna, where he scored the opening goal and his younger brother Ikechukwu was also on target in a 2-0 win in Keshi\u2019s second game in charge of the team.<\/p>\n
