Former Super Eagles and Stoke City forward, Peter Osaze Odemwingie, has revealed he's pumped ahead of Nigeria's friendly game against Russia next month, Soccernet.ng reports.
Now 43 years old, the retired attacker was born in Uzbekistan to a Russian mother and a Nigerian father, and could've played for the Russians, but instead, opted to don the green and white colours of the Super Eagles.
Odemwingie eventually racked up over 60 appearances for the three-time AFCON winners, scoring eleven goals.

“I would love to watch this game live, but I am on a coaching course for the first two weeks of June. I hope to visit Russia in August and watch a few RPL games. I think the Russia–Nigeria match will be a great spectacle,” the former West Bromwich Albion forward said in quotes revealed by Sports Express.
