Nigeria: Haruna sad for missing out on Eagles return

Dynamo Kiev’s winger Lukman Haruna has said he is sad for failing to enter the list of Super Eagles that will receive Ethiopia in the second leg of the 2014 World Cup qualifier on November 16, and play Italy in a friendly game on November 18.
Haruna was enthusiastic to play for Nigeria this month after Nigerian head coach, Stephen Keshi, tipped last month that he will call the winger for the Italian friendly.
Haruna, who played his last game for the Eagles in 2010 World Cup, has said that he remains positive that his hard work will forge him a place in the Eagles Aerie.
“I am sad but I’m still positive that I will get my chance,”
“I was very happy when I heard the coach said he would consider me for the Italy game but now that I’m not listed, it only means I should work extra hard and that is exactly what am going to do. I will continue to work hard and keep my form,” The Punch quoted Haruna.
