Lukman Haruna
Lukman Haruna says he is disappointed not to be selected by Super Eagles coach Stephen Keshi for the November 18 friendly game against Italy in London.
Dynamo Kiev midfielder Haruna has been on top form for his Ukrainian club and had hoped he would be recalled for the encounter.
Keshi had even hinted on a possible recall for Haruna, Hull City winger Sone Aluko and Gabriel Rueben, but he only named Reuben in his 25-man squad released on Sunday. The squad will also face Italy.
“I am sad but I’m still positive that I will get my chance,” South Korea 2007 FIFA U-17 World Cup winner Haruna toldMTNFootball.com.
“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
“It’s been three years since I played for the Eagles and every day I put in my best in my club and my form and performance this season has been evidence of my hard work but I need to do more.”
Haruna has netted four goals for Dynamo Kiev this season.
