--Plays in Lazio's win on Wednesday
Super Eagles midfielder, Ogenyi Onazi, has declared that
he is close to full fitness following the injury that forced him to miss the
FIFA Confederations Cup in Brazil.
The midfielder copped the injury while playing for the
national team in a 2014 World Cup qualifier against Namibia in Windhoek last
month but returned to action just last week and he has featured in two
pre-season games for his club SS Lazio.
The Rome-based team will meet Juventus in the Italian
Super Cup and the former My People FC star says he and his teammates are
looking forward to a great season beginning with the game with Juve.
"I'm working to get in shape in a few days’ time;
I’m at 95 percent okay for now. We are working very hard and well because the
pre-season training will be useful for us in the future,” he said.
"Against Spezia, I liked the team, we played very
well - particularly in the first half and we created so many chances. We must
do better than last year; we have to try to win every game. Firstly, in the
upcoming Super Cup and from there on focus on winning the Scudetto; why not?”
Onazi is one of the players listed by Super Eagles coach
Stephen Keshi for the Mandela Challenge game against Bafana-Bafana of South
Africa next month.
