stars in Europe - Uche not angry at Nigeria World Cup snub

The Villarreal striker was not picked by Keshi, despite scoring 12 goals in the Spanish top flight this season. Uche has not played for his country since they won the Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa last year. The 30-year-old insists, however, that he holds no grudges against Keshi. "Of course as a professional footballer you'd love to represent your country, but I have never had bad words towards the national coach," Uche is widely regarded as one of Nigeria's most reliable strikers at international level and is one of his nation's all-time top scorers, with 18 goals in 45 appearances, behind Rashidi Yekini, Segun Odegbami and Yakubu Aiyegbeni.

2014 World Cup - squad - Cameroon coach picks familiar line-up

Cameroon coach Volker Finke has opted for a tried and trusted line-up in his 28-man provisional World Cup squad.

The German has picked all but one of the group of players who earned the Indomitable Lions' place at Brazil with the play-off win over Tunisia. Striker Jacques Zoua, who plays for Hamburg, is the unfortunate man to miss out because of injury.

Much will be expected of forward Vincent Aboubakar after his 16 goals for Lorient this season. That places him joint-second highest scorer in the French Ligue 1 behind only Zlatan Ibrahimovic. He is set to partner elder statesman Samuel Eto'o, who remains Cameroon's all-time leading scorer with 55 goals.
