I did not snub Nigeria - Anichebe


Anichebe has reitierated his commitment to the Super Eagles

Everton striker Victor Anichebe has dismissed theories that he pulled out of Nigeria's squad recently for anything other than legitimate reasons.

Anichebe withdrew from a friendly against Australia in London on 17 November with a hand injury.

The 19-year-old said: "I felt a reaction in my hand after playing against Nurnberg and Chelsea.

"It was clear to me and the medical team at Everton that I needed to rest to prevent any long-term damage."

The Super Eagles lost 1-0 to the Socceroos, in a match organised to prepare the squad for next year's African Cup of Nations in Ghana.
