AFCON Goal King Emmanuel
Emenike has exclusively told MTNFootball.com he misses the game as he remains
sidelined by a long-term hamstring injury.
“I miss football. Football is part
of me and I always want to play,”Emenike told MTNFootball.com on phone from his
base in Russia.
The second round of the
Russian Premier League will resume next week Sunday with Emenike’s Spartak home
to closest rivals Terek Grosny.
Both teams are on 32
points after 19 matches with fifth-placed Spartak only ahead on goals’
difference.
Emenike, who fired four
goals at the recent Nations Cup, missed the AFCON final against Burkina Faso
after he suffered the injury in the semi-final against Mali in Durban.
The medical team at
Spartak say he could be out for as a long as two months, which could well rule
him out of a 2014 World Cup qualifier at home to Kenya later this month.
Emenike rubbished a media
report that he has since returned to action.
“I am yet to return to
action, but I am only focusing on good recovery from the injury. I want to get
back to my best form for my great club who have stood by me,” Emenike said.
“I didn’t post anything
about being back in action on Facebook or anywhere else, as I am thinking only
about my recovery. “I hope to be back for good soon.”
